Gene expression time series during natural senescence of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves under short-day growth conditions

This experiment profiled a time series of gene expression in leaf 7 of Arabidopsis thaliana plants grown in a controlled environment under 8 h light: 16 h dark (i.e. short days) to compare to the profiles analysed in Breeze et al. (2011) Plant Cell 23(3):873-94 under long day conditions. Leaf 7 was harvested from an individual Arabidopsis Col-0 plant every 2 days from 25 to 61 days after sowing. At each time point, 4 leves were harvested to generate four biological replicates. Plants were grown in controlled environments under short day conditions (i.e. 8 h light, 16 h dark).
