Soybean Expression Atlas in Reproductive Organ Development. Glycine max cultivar:Willimas 82

In cereal crop plants, sexual development and reproduction are key steps in producing seeds. However, genes responsible for reproductive function and development are largely unknown in soybean. Here, the soybean flower development was divided into three stages, namely the early stage(E), before pollination (BP) and post-pollination (PP). The flowers were hand-dissected into six tissues under the microscope, including anther (An), filament (Fi), stigma (St), style and ovary (SO), petal (Pe) and sepal (Se). All samples were processed for total RNA extraction and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) data were generated in this study.
