RNA-seq data for identifying genes regulated by the ectopic heterodimeric bHLH transcription factor MpSETA-MpICE2 in the thallus of Marchantia polymorpha

The bHLH transcription factors MpSETA and MpICE2 regulate seta tissue development in the sporophyte of Marchantia polymorpha (Moriya et al., Nature Plants, 2023). Additionally, it has been reported that overexpressing MpSETA in the thallus results in the abnormal formation of epidermal tissue (Chang et al., Current Biology, 2023). Here, we deposit transcriptome data from individuals grown for 15 days in half-strength B5 medium, either with or without 1 µM DEX. These individuals were derived from strains expressing GR or MpSETA-GR in a wild-type Tak-1 background, as well as from strains expressing MpSETA-GR in a male Mpice2-6 mutant background. Four biological replicates were used for each condition.
