RNA-seq of Petunia open flowers for differences in scent-related genes between P. axillaris and P. exserta. Petunia

This experiment was carried out to analyse the expression differences of genes involved in scent production between Petunia species. RNA was sequenced from one day old open flowerse limb (sepals and reproductive organs removed) of P. axillaris ssp. axillaris N, P. exserta, and a number of NILs produced from an interspecific cross between the two species. Three biological replicates were sequenced per sample.
