Project name: Zea mays

Description: Global gene expression profiles of seven stages representing 29 days of anther development are analyzed using a 44K oligonucleotide array querying ~80% of maize protein-coding genes. Each anther stage expresses ~10,000 constitutive and ~10,000 or more transcripts restricted to one or a few stages.Keywords: anther development, maizeOverall design: 4 replicates of 7 samples (6 anther stages plus mature pollen) were hybridized to a 44K Agilent array according to the A-optimal design recommended by Kerr and Churchill for 7 samples.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate
