Project description:jc2013_sybiopop_2014 Large genotype and population comparisons in populus nigra-Which genes affect biomass yield in poplar ?-Large genotype comparisons: 241 genotype from 11 populations. RNA was extracted from young differentiating xylem and cambium collected on 480 4-year-old trees trialed in a common garden experiment at INRA Orléans. The trees corresponded to corresponding to 2 replicates of 241 genotypes from 11 natural populations. After RNA quantification, the RNA from xylem and cambium from the same tree were pooled and subjected to high-throughput sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq2000 using 100 bp single-read indexing runs. All the samples were sequenced on one Illumina, yielding around 20 million of single-reads per sample.
