Red clover (Trifolium pratense) transcriptome

Red clover plants were grown under greenhouse condition with 16h/8h of light/dark cycle. Leaf, root and flower samples were collected, followed by RNA extraction and RNAseq library preparation. RNAseq libraries were sequenced on Illumina platform. Sequenced reads were used to construct a de novo transcriptome assembly. Assembled transcriptome was used to decipher dynamic tissue-specific gene expression patterns in the forage legume red clover.
