Transcriptomes of dedifferentiation and redifferentiation phases during Camellia sinensis tissue culture

Tea plant (Camellia sinensis) is an important economic crop. Studying transcriptomes of tea tissues during dedifferentiation and redifferentiation helps improve the transgenetic system of Camellia sinensis and discover the differential expressed genes during tissue culture. Stems and leaves were used as explants in this research. Besides, samples of stem explant, primary callus derived from stem, callus derived from stem, regenerated roots from stem callus, regenerated shoots from stem callus, leaf explant, primary callus derived from leaf, callus derived from leaf, and regenerated roots from leaf callus were all sequenced by Illumina Hiseq platform in this study.

茶树（Camellia sinensis）是一类重要的经济作物。对茶树组织在脱分化与再分化过程中的转录组开展研究，有助于完善茶树的遗传转化体系，并挖掘组织培养过程中的差异表达基因。本研究以茎段与叶片作为外植体。此外，本研究对以下样本均采用Illumina Hiseq平台进行测序：茎段外植体、茎源初生愈伤组织、茎源愈伤组织、茎愈伤组织再生不定根、茎愈伤组织再生不定芽、叶片外植体、叶源初生愈伤组织、叶源愈伤组织以及叶愈伤组织再生不定根。
