Evaluating the lettuce metatranscriptome with MinION sequencing for future spaceflight food production applications

摘要

a Quality and quantity of total RNA extracted from leaves of three individual 28-day-old Outredgeous lettuce plants (L93, L96, and L101). The table shows the amount of starting material used in the RNA extraction and total host–microbial RNA extracted for each sample. Bioanalyzer results of all three samples are shown in the digital gel image and a representative electropherogram from sample L96 shows the plant rRNA peaks. b The quality and quantity of the plant-depleted RNA were assessed. Bioanalyzer results of microbial enriched RNA are shown in the digital gel image and a representative electropherogram from sample L96 shows the microbial rRNA peak.
