Total RNA was extracted from leaf, stem, silk, husk, ear and pollen tissues using Trizol and RNeasy MinElute (Qiagen) RNA clean up kit, with an Dnase I treatment of 20 min69 (link). The RNA integrity was assessed with a Bioanalyzer prior to the construction of the Iso-Seq library. The Iso-Seq libraries were prepared and sequenced by Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research (ICBR) at the University of Florida using a PacBio Sequel system. PacBio Iso-Seq data were analyzed by running the IsoSeq3 v3.1 in PacBio SMART Analysis v7.0 (https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/IsoSeq3) to generate high-quality, full-length transcript sequences.
