Light-regulated gene expression and alternative splicing data from rice seedlings.

This data contains analyzed data from the experiment conducted on rice seedlings under dark and light conditions. Seeds of rice (Oryza sativa spp. japonica cv. Nipponbare) were sown in the dark and germinated on day 2 and continued to grow in the dark for another 6 days. 3 biological replicates of the dark-grown etiolated shoots were harvested on day 8 after sowing. The remaining dark-grown seedlings were exposed to continuous white light at 120 mol/m2/sec for 48 hours or another 2 days (Days 9 and 10 after sowing). Three replicates of the light-treated green-colored seedling samples were harvested at the end of day 10. Harvested samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80C until further processing.
