Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Seed Development of Easy Dehulling Tartary Buckwheat Transcriptomes

We generated 78.41 Gb of high-quality sequencing data (~8.71 Gb per sample) and catalogued the expression profiles of 9,765 annotated Tartary buckwheat genes in each sample. The analysis showed differences of transcriptomes during the development of easy dehulling buckwheat seed. We identified numerous differentially expressed genes that exhibited distinct expression patterns. These genes have known or potential roles in development of easy dehulling buckwheat seed. Therefore, we are appealing candidates for further investigation of the gene expression and associated regulatory mechanisms related to easy dehulling character. buckwheat seeds mRNA profiles of the development were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq4000.
