Integrative Metabolomic and Transcriptomic Analyses Reveal the Mechanism of Petal Blotch Formation in .

Petal blotch is a specific flower color pattern commonly found in angiosperm families. In particular, is characterized by dark red blotches at the base of yellow petals. Modern rose cultivars with blotches inherited the blotch trait from .

Genome assembly and resequencing analyses provide new insights into the evolution, domestication and ornamental traits of crape myrtle.

Crape myrtle () is a globally used ornamental woody plant and is the representative species of . However, studies on the evolution and genomic breeding of have been hindered by the lack of a reference genome. Here we assembled the first high-quality genome of using PacBio combined with Hi-C scaffolding to anchor the 329.

Transcriptome profiling to identify tepal cell enlargement and pigmentation genes and the function of LtEXLB1 in Lilium tsingtauense.

To understand the molecular mechanism underlying tepal development and pigmentation in Lilium tsingtauense Gilg, we performed whole-transcriptome profiles from closed buds at the greenish tepal stage (CBS), the full-bloom with un-horizontal tepal stage (UFS), and the completely opened bud with reflected tepal stage (RFS) of L. tsingtauense. More than 95699 transcripts were generated using a de novo assembly approach.
