Description Immature seeds, collected from pods ranging in age from 25 to 35 days after pollination, were harvested from greenhouse-grown plants. Seed were removed and separated from pod walls and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Seeds throughout the age range were pooled for mRNA extraction. cDNA was prepared from polyA+ enriched RNA. The cDNA was directionally ligated into the Unizap XR vector from Stratagene and packaged using Gigapack III Gold packaging extracts. Plasmids containing cDNA inserts were excised from the recombinant lambda-Zap phage using ExAssist helper phage and propagated in XLOLR cells.
