RNA extraction and reverse transcription were performed according to the instructions in the Plant RNA maxi kit (Biomiga, San Diego, CA, USA) and the EasyScript One-Step gDNA Removal and cDNA Synthesis SuperMix (TransGen Biotech Co., Beijing, China), respectively. Reverse transcription-quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis was performed using TransStart Probe qPCR SuperMix (TransGen Biotech Co.) and detected using a CFX96 Touch™ Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-rad Laboratories, Inc., Singapore, Singapore). Relative expression levels were calculated using the 2−△△Ct method [50 (link)]. All RT-qPCR primers are listed in Table S1. In this study, Tubulin (accession No. AB239680.1) was used as an internal reference [4 (link)]. The transcriptome sequencing data have been deposited in the Sequence Read Archive (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra) under accession numbers SUB2967341 [6 (link)].
