RNA-seq of maize seeds at different filling stages

We study the expression level change of candidate genes associated with seed filling in maize, through RNA-seq for maize seeds in different filling stages. The results show that the change of the expression of these candidate genes would lead to the change of grain filling trajectory. A total of 40 samples, including 4 maize inbred lines. Each inbred line is detected at 5 time points with 2 replicates.
