The Synergistic Mechanism of Photosynthesis and Antioxidant Metabolism between the Green and White Tissues of var. Chimeric Leaves.

var. () is a typical leaf-chimeric ornamental plant. The chimeric leaves are composed of central green photosynthetic tissue (GT) and marginal albino tissue (AT).

Comparative transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of the green and white parts of chimeric leaves in var. .

Background: var. has high ornamental value due to its chimeric leaves. However, the chimeric trait is very unstable in red pineapple plants, and transcriptional variation between the two types of cells (white/green cells) and the molecular mechanism responsible for their albino phenotype remain poorly understood.

High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed the regulation patterns of small RNAs on the development of A. comosus var. bracteatus leaves.

Studies of the molecular mechanisms involved in the formation of the albino leaf cells are important for understanding the development of chimera leaves in Ananas comosus var. bracteatus. In this study, we identified a total of 163 novel miRNAs involved in the development of complete white (CWh) and complete green (CGr) leaves using high-throughput sequencing method.

Physiological Characterization and Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of White and Green Leaves of Ananas comosus var. bracteatus.

Leaf coloration is one of the most important and attractive characteristics of Ananas comosus var. bracteatus. The chimeric character is not stable during the in vitro tissue culturing.
