Genome assembly and multi-omic analyses reveal the mechanisms underlying flower color formation in Torenia fournieri.

Torenia fournieri Lind. is an ornamental plant that is popular for its numerous flowers and variety of colors. However, its genomic evolutionary history and the genetic and metabolic bases of flower color formation remain poorly understood.

Identification of Competing Endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) Network Associated with Drought Tolerance in with Rhizobium Symbiosis.

Drought, bringing the risks of agricultural production losses, is becoming a globally environmental stress. Previous results suggested that legumes with nodules exhibited superior drought tolerance compared with the non-nodule group. To investigate the molecular mechanism of rhizobium symbiosis impacting drought tolerance, transcriptome and sRNAome sequencing were performed to identify the potential mRNA-miRNA-ncRNA dynamic network.
