Expression profiling during early flower development [RNA-seq]

We studied early events of flower formation with a temporal resolution by employing a floral induction system to drive synchronised flower development from inflorescence meristem-like tissue (Wellmer et al. (2006)). We generated a developmental time series including vegetative leaf tissue, young developing flowers at zero (t0) and two days after induction of flower development (t2), and fully expanded inflorescences. We analysed histone mark dynamics at those time points and the transcriptomics data presented here served to compare histone mark dynamics to transcriptome dynamics.
