Popis: The fundamental mechanisms of cell identity and tissue establishment are important already from the very beginning of a plant's life and reiterate later during development. In order to unravel and understand the underlying mechanisms to generate differences that in turn lead to cell or tissue types, plant cells have to be separated and their transcriptional setup analyzed. We have previously demonstrated that fluorescence-activated nuclear sorting (FANS) is a powerful tool to generate nuclear transcriptomic profiles of the most inaccessible embryonic tissues. In this protocol, we extend this effort to combine FANS with next generation RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) to achieve early embryonic transcriptomes of Arabidopsis epidermis precursor tissue (protoderm) and the inner tissue counterpart.
