Peripheral blood (5-10 ml) was collected in EDTA anticoagulant tubes (BD). The samples were placed on ice and sent to the lab within 2 hours. Plasma samples were collected from peripheral blood after centrifugation for 10 min at 1600 g (4°C) and for 10 min at 16,000 g (4°C). The prepared plasma samples were immediately stored at -80°C until puri cation. cfDNA was extracted from 3-5 ml of plasma using the QIAamp Circulating Nucleic Acid Kit (Qiagen) according the manufacturer's protocol. Concentrations and quality of cfDNA were quanti ed by Qubit uorometer (Life Technologies) and 2% agarose gel electrophoresis (Invitrogen).

Total RNA was respectively isolated from the seeds of the four germination stages using the Omega Plant RNA kit (No.R6827, Omega Bio-Tek Inc., USA). RNA purity and concentration of all samples were determined using the Nanodrop 2000 spectrophotometer and QUBIT uorometer (Life Technologies).
RNA integrity was determined using the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies). High-quality RNA with an RNA integrity number (RIN) > 8 and of su cient quantity was used to construct the sequencing library. RNA samples were used for poly(A) + selection using oligo (dT) magnetic beads. Then, libraries were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq TM 4000 platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) at Gene Denovo Technology Co. Ltd., Guangzhou, China. Raw data of RNA-Seq were collected, and clean data were obtained by removing adapters, unknown nucleotides, and low-quality (Q-value ≤ 10) bases. The Q20, Q30, GC content, and sequence duplication levels of the clean data were simultaneously calculated. High-quality clean data were used for downstream analyses. The clean reads were subsequently de novo assembled using the Trinity software (trinityrnaseq-2.0.6) [61] .

Genomic DNA was extracted using a DNeasy UltraClean DNA isolation kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). DNA was quanti ed using a Qubit ® uorometer (Invitrogen, CA, USA) high-sensitivity assay, before dilution to the required concentration in RNase-free water and puri cation on AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter). Sequencing libraries were prepared from 0.5ng/µl of RNA free genomic DNA. A total of 282 isolates were included for genomic sequencing using the Nextera-XT DNA sample preparation kit (Illumina) and whole-genome sequencing performed using the Illumina NextSeq sequencing platform, generating paired-end reads (2 x 150bp). Reads were uploaded to the Sequence Read Archive under Bioproject ID PRJNA543206.
Paired-end reads were quality-assessed and trimmed using FastQC and Trimmomatic as described above [19, 20] . Trimmed reads were assembled into scaffolds using SPAdes version 3.13.1 [56] . Scaffolds shorter than 500 bp were discarded from analysis. Genome contamination and completeness was assessed using CheckM version 1.0.13 [47] . To con rm assembly quality, only genomes conforming to all the following criteria were included in further analysis: (i) scaffold N50 of >20 kbp (ii) 90% of assembled bases at > 5x read coverage (iii) completeness of > 95% (iv) contamination of < 5% (v) complete 16S rRNA gene sequence.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
