Dataset for transcriptome response of mature tomato seed tissues to light and heat during fruit ripening

To investigate how light and temperature have an impact on the molecular mechanisms governing tomato seed vigour at harvest, RNA sequencing was performed on Solanum lycopersicum cv. Moneymaker seed tissues (i.e. embryo and endosperm) that were dissected from fruits submitted to standard or high temperature and/or standard or dim light. Differentially expressed genes between standard light and temperature condition and other environmental conditions were assessed and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) on GO terms were performed.
