Table 1 Description of samples collected for RNA-Seq at different panicle development stages
Symbol | Sampling points | Length of young panicle | Apical spikelet development stage |
|---|---|---|---|
S1 | Young panicle | 1mm~2mm | Formation of palea, elongation of sterile lemma and lemma |
S2 | Young panicle | 2mm~5mm | Formation of stamen and pistil primordia |
S3 | Young panicle | 5mm~10mm | Stamen and pistil begin to differentiate, palea and lemma close up gradually |
S4 | Young panicle | 10mm~15mm | Formation of pollen and ovule |
SL | Sterile lemma | — | Booting stage |
