Organ-Specific Gene Expression Reveals the Role of the 396 Module in Flower Development of the Orchid Plant .

Orchids are some of the most popular ornamental plants worldwide. Orchid floral morphology has increasingly attracted horticultural and commercial attention. Although multiple genes have been shown to be involved in the formation of the orchid flower, the underlying multi-level regulatory networks are largely unknown.

Genetic insights into the regulatory pathways for continuous flowering in a unique orchid Arundina graminifolia.

Background: Manipulation of flowering time and frequency of blooming is key to enhancing the ornamental value of orchids. Arundina graminifolia is a unique orchid that flowers year round, although the molecular basis of this flowering pattern remains poorly understood.

Results: We compared the A.

Transcriptional Cascade in the Regulation of Flowering in the Bamboo Orchid .

Flowering in orchids is the most important horticultural trait regulated by multiple mechanisms. flowers throughout the year unlike other orchids with a narrow flowering span. However, little is known of the genetic regulation of this peculiar flowering pattern.

Comparative Metabolomic Analysis Reveals Distinct Flavonoid Biosynthesis Regulation for Leaf Color Development of 'Red Sun'.

The colorful leaf is an important ornamental character of (), especially the red leaf, which has always been attracted by breeders and consumers. However, little is documented on the formation mechanism of the red leaf of . In this study, the changing patterns of flavonoid-related metabolites, corresponding enzyme activities and genes expression in the leaves of 'Red Sun' from red to yellow and finally to green was investigated.
