| Developmental stage |
M. truncatula sterilised seeds were germinated for 72h at 25oC, before transplanting into 1/3 Epoisses soil: 2/3 calcined Terragreen mix in the presence of onion root fragments colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices (Schenck & Smith, isolate LPA8). The plants were watered every day and twice a week with a modified nutrient long Ashton solution without phosphate but with a high level of nitrate. After 3 weeks, RNA was extracted from whole root systems. |

| Description |
For each library, cDNA was prepared from polyA+ enriched RNA. The cDNA was directionally ligated into Uni-Zap XR vector from Stratagene (site1: EcoRI; site2: XhoI) and packaged using Gigapack Gold packaging extracts. Plasmids (pBluescript SK) containing cDNA inserts were mass-excised from phage stocks using ExAssist helper phage and propagated in SOLR cells. |

| Additional comments |
Clone ordering and sequencing was performed by the Centre national de sequencage (Genoscope, Evry, France). Due to the directional cloning of cDNA inserts into the Uni-Zap XR vector, EST sequences obtained with the forward primer (from T3 side of the cloning site) corespond to cDNA 5' ends, and those obtained with the reverse primer (from T7 side of the cloning site; sequence then converted into reverse complement) correspond to cDNA 3' ends. However, it should be born in mind that we detected the presence of a few % inserts cloned in the reverse orientation. |
