RNASEQ based transcriptome profiling of cold responsive genes in Fragaria vesca genotypes with differing sensitivity to cold

By using high through put Illumina based sequencing approach, we generated RNASEQ data for leaves and crowns of Alta and NCGR1363 at 0H and 42D exposure to temperature stress. We present the expression profile of 896 putative candidate genes identified within a QTL associated with freezing tolerance. Expression profiles revealed genotype specific cold responsive expression patterns in one group of candidates and expression differences between genotypes prior to treatment for many of the genes. Overall design: Evaluation of transcript expression profiles in cold treated crown and leaf tissues of Alta and NCGR1363 relative to controls
