Whole transcriptome profiling of the vernalization process in Lilium longiflorum bulbs. Whole transcriptome profiling of the vernalization process in Lilium longiflorum bulbs

We used high throughput sequencing of coding RNA to identify systematic patterns of expression during vernalization in meristems of lily bulbs that were treated with cold temperature for increasing periods of time. cDNA libraries were constructed from bulbs stored at 25 degrees Celsius (control) and at 4 degrees Celsius for 2, 5, 7 and 9 weeks
