The transcriptome sequencing of shoot apical meristem tissues at 2 weeks after bolting (WAB) and 4 WAB.

Stem cells are fountains of all plant organs. Recently, some studies indicate stem cell status has a close relationship with plant longevity. In Arabidopsis, the regulatory mechanism of stem cell maintenance is clear. However, the status of stem cell along with the lifespan of Arabidopsis is largely unknown. In order to understand the essential factors that play roles in regulate stem cell fate along with lifespan of Arabidopsis, RNA-seq was performed.
