RNA-Seq profiling of a defective seed coat mutation in Glycine max reveals differential expression of proline-rich and other cell wall protein transcripts.

Abstract excerpt

The plant cell wall performs a number of essential functions including providing shape to many different cell types and serving as a defense against potential pathogens. The net pattern mutation creates breaks in the seed coat of soybean (Glycine max) because of ruptured cell walls. Using RNA-Seq, we examined the seed coat transcriptome from three stages of immature seed development in two pairs of isolines with...
