Zea mays Transcriptome or Gene expression. Zea mays

These experiments were to investigate changes in gene expression associated with maize competition for light when grown at double normal population density or under 60% shaded conditions as opposed to when maize is grown under normal field conditions. Overall design: Three biological replicates (collected from separate field plots) comprised of pooled samples of 4 plants from each treatment were hybridized in a rolling circle dye swap hybridization screen.
