Asteraceae is a large class of eudicots with complex capitulum, and little is known regarding the molecular regulation mechanism of flower development. () belongs to the MADS-box gene family and plays a key role in plant floral induction and floral organ development. In this study, the bioinformatics and tissue-specific expression of homologous gene in were analyzed.

It has many important secondary compounds, including glycoproteins, glycoalkaloids, polyphenolics, and anthocyanin-rich purple berries, as well as many ideal characteristics such as self-fertilization, a short life cycle and a small genome size that make it a potential model plant for the study of secondary metabolism and fruit development. In this study, we report a highly efficient and convenient tissue culture, transformation and genome editing method for S.

Cadmium (Cd) is a common pollutant not required for life activities, which can have extremely strong toxicity to organisms and affect the growth of crops at a low concentration in soil. To investigate the molecular mechanism of soybean root responding to Cd stress, 7-day old soybean seedlings were stressed by Cd (75 Μmol·L) for 0 , 4 , 8, 12 and 48 h. Comparative transcriptome analysis showed 244, 1545, 442 and 1401 of genes responded to the four Cd treatments, respectively, and total 2670 differential expression genes were obtained.
