RNA-seq of Oryza sativa L. Dongjin and Iksan 526 seeds at 20 days after heading

The resveratrol-producing rice (Oryza sativa L.) inbred line, Iksan 526 (I.526), developed by the expression of the groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) resveratrol synthase 3 (AhRS3) gene in the japonica rice cultivar Dongjin, accumulated both resveratrol and its glucoside, piceid, in leaves and seeds. Especially, ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) analysis revealed that the biosynthesis of piceid reached peak levels at 20 days after heading (DAH) seeds. To investigate endogenous piceid biosynthesis genes (UGTs), total RNA samples of 20 DAH seeds was used for RNA-seq.
