Description
We collected heart stage seed compartments from 7 micron paraffin sections using the Leica LMD6000 system in order to identify the mRNAs present in different compartments from seeds containing heart stage embryos. For the purposes of this study we captured 6 compartments: embryo proper, micropylar endosperm, peripheral endosperm, chalazal endosperm, chalazal seed coat and seed coat, as well sets of serial sections encompassing the entire heart stage seed.
