RNA-seq in shoots and roots of Glycine max in different periods of rhizobial infection

The extent of long-distance transport of RNA in the legume-rhizobia symbiosis process is largely unknown. The two Glycine max cultivars, Peking and Williams, show a high frequency of genomic sequence SNPs, hetero-graft of which enabled us to characterize the origin and mobility of transcripts. Rhizobial infection could trigger a large amount of mRNAs transport between shoots and roots at the early stage of nodulation.
