The total RNA from samples was extracted using
Plant RNA MiniPrep Kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA, USA) with additional treatment with
RNase-Free DNase Set (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions and protocols. Evaluation of the quantity and purity of RNA was performed on a
Nanodrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE, USA); integrity was assessed using
LabChip GX Touch™ system (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA).
MACE libraries were constructed using the MACE kit (Zawada et al., 2014 (
link)) according to the manual provided with the kit. Sequencing was performed on Illumina
NextSeq 500 platform. PCR duplicates were removed automatically.
All raw data are available in NCBI SRA (
