Spatial transcriptional signatures define margin morphogenesis along the proximal-distal and medio-lateral axes in complex leaf species Solanum lycopersicum (tomato)

Overall this is a RNAseq experiment looking at how gene expression differs in spatially defined regions of a very young tomato leaf. The goal is to understand how gene expresssion patterns guid complex leaf cell differentiation and morphogenesis. Using laser Capture microdissection tissue was extracted from stage P4 Solanum lycopersicum leafs along two axis 1. proximal - distal (bottm -middle - top) 2. medio - lateral (rachis - middle). RNA was further extracted and amplified and sequeced.
