Instrument: Illumina HiSeq 2000
Strategy: RNA-Seq
Source: TRANSCRIPTOMIC
Selection: cDNA
Layout: SINGLE
Construction protocol: Total RNA for each sample was isolated from 1g frozen fruit tissue, according to Zhang (2010). Contaminating genome DNA was removed by RNase-free DNase I (Fermentas, Vilnius, Lithuania). RNA integration and quantification was by agarose electrophoresis at an absorbance of 260nm (A260) using the NanoDrop® ND-3300 Fluorospectrometer with Quant-iT™ RiboGreen® RNA Reagent (Invitrogen, USA). First-strand cDNA was synthesized using 2.0 μl DNA-free RNA with the PrimeScript RT reagent Kit with gDNA Eraser, following the manufacturer’s instructions (Takara), and was diluted for RT-qPCR using a CFX 96 real-time PCR detection system (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). RNA libraries were prepared for sequencing using standard Illumina protocols
