RNA-seq of pericarp of purple-grain wheat Luozhen No.1 of 15 days (D15) and 20 days (D20) shading treatment after pollination, against 15 DAP, 20 DAP untreated controls. The purple-grain wheat were grown under natural field conditions at Shandong Agricultural University Experimental Station (36169 N, 117169 E), Taian, China during Octubor, 2015 to June, 2016..

Purple-grain wheat are caused by anthocyanin accumulation in the seed coat. But little is known about molecular mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis. The anthocyanin biosynthesis and accumulation were affected by light in purple-grain wheat. The spikes of purple-grain wheat Luozhen No.1 were bagged with four-layer Kraft paper bags after pollination. To identify genes involved in the anthocyanin biosynthesis, we sequenced four pericarp cDNA libraries, D15 (15 DAP), D20 (20 DAP) of shading treatment, and L15 (15 DAP), L20 (20 DAP) of untreated control using an Illumina HiSeqTM 2000. After quality control, raw reads are filtered into clean reads which will be aligned to the reference sequences. The alignment data is utilized to calculate distribution of reads on reference genes and mapping ratio, and proceed with downstream analysis including gene and isoform expression, deep analysis based on gene expression (PCA/correlation/screening differentially expressed genes and so on),exon expression, gene structure refinement, alternative splicing, novel transcript prediction and annotation, SNP detection, Indel detection. Further, we also perform deep analysis based on different expression genes, including Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, Pathway enrichment analysis, cluster analysis, and finding transcriptor factor.
