Transcriptome analysis for leaf morphology in Brassica rapa

Among Brassica rapa, rapid cycling Brassica rapa and Brassica rapa inbred line Kenshin showed contrasting leaf morphology. To identify genes associated with leaf morphology, four distinct F2 progeny of RcBr X Kenshin cross and their parents were selected. Leaf samples were collected from 6 materials, isolated total RNA, and subjected to newly developved 135K microarray. Experiments were performed with three or two biologic A total of 6 chips were used for the microarray experiment. Experiments were performed with three or two biological replicates.
