Expression data of the flowering time genes in chickpea, extracted from Ridge et al. (2017). Plant Physiology 175, 802-815.

This data is supplementary to the following paper: Gursky, V.V., Kozlov, K.N., Nuzhdin, S.V., and Samsonova, M.G. (2018) Dynamical Modeling of the Core Gene Network Controlling Flowering Suggests Cumulative Activation from the FLOWERING LOCUS T Gene Homologs in Chickpea. Frontiers in Genetics. 9:547. doi: 10.3389/fgene.2018.00547

The data was obtained by digitizing Figure 5 of the following paper: Ridge, S., Deokar, A., Lee, R., Daba, K., Macknight, R. C., Weller, J. L., and Tar'an, B. (2017). The chickpea Early flowering 1 (Efl1) locus is an ortholog of arabidopsis ELF3. Plant Physiology 175, 802-815. doi:10.1104/pp.17.00082

The archive contains files (in csv format) with the expression data of each of the following ten genes: FTa1, FTa2, FTa3, FTb, FTc, AP1, FD, TFL1a, TFL1c, and LFY, for the cultivars CDC Frontier and ICCV 96029 and for two growth conditions (long day, LD, and short day, SD). Each file is named according to the following scheme: <Gene name>_<Cultivar name>_<Growth conditions>.csv. Each file contains values in the following three columns (separated by commas): time (in days after sowing), relative transcription level (%ACTIN), and standard error. In the case of the genes AP1, FD, TFL1a, TFL1c, and LFY, the standard error was assumed equal to the size of the points in the figure when the actual error range was smaller than that size (and, thus, not visible in the figure). In the case of the genes FTa1, FTa2, FTa3, FTb, and FTc, the standard error was recorded as 0 for such points (the error for these genes was not used in the study).

The data was extracted with the help of the web-based tool WebPlotDigitizer (https://automeris.io/WebPlotDigitizer).
