Objective: Early bolting of has seriously hindered its medicinal value and sustainable development of resources. The molecular mechanism of bolting and flowering of is still unclear and worth of research. In our study, we explored the transcriptome of the genes related to the bolting and flowering of

Methods: The transcriptome library was constructed, sequenced, assembled and annotated from the bolting and unbolting leaves of by high-throughput sequencing at the bud and flowering stage. Focus on the pathways related to bolting and flowering in plants, and exploring genes. The expression of seven candidate genes was verified by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR).

Results: Transcriptome results showed that 249 889 422 high-quality clean reads were obtained. A total of 67 866 unigenes were assembled with an average length of 948.1 bp. Trinity assembly produced 67 866 unigenes with an average length of 948.1 bp. Among 993 differentially expressed genes, 484 genes were significantly up-regulated and 509 genes were down-regulated in the SdM group. A total of 79 GO terms were significantly enriched for differentially expressed genes. KEGG results showed that 11 154 unigenes were enriched in 89 pathways. And 21 candidate genes related to bolting and flowering of were excavated. The qRT-PCR results showed that expression trends of , , , , , , and were consistent with transcriptomic sequencing results. In addition, RNA-seq had identified 10 740 transcription factors and classified them into 58 families by their conserved domains. Further studies showed that the transcription factors regulating the flowering of were mainly distributed in the NAC, MYB_related, HB-other, ARF, and AP2 families.

Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, it was found that the plant hormone signal transduction pathway was one of the decisive factors to control bolting and flowering. Among them, auxin related genes and are the key genes in the bolting and flowering process of .

Plants exhibit diverse pathways to regulate the timing of flowering. Some plant species require a vegetative phase before being able to perceive cold stimuli for the acceleration of flowering through vernalization. This research confirms the correlation between the vernalization process and seedling age in Welsh onions.

Orphan genes () are unique to the specific species or lineage, and whose homologous sequences cannot be found in other species or lineages. Furthermore, these genes lack recognizable domains or functional motifs, which make their characterization difficult. Here, we identified a   named () that could positively modulate bolting resistance.

Article Synopsis
  • Some plants get sick from viruses more easily when they are older, but scientists don’t fully understand why.
  • In a study, they looked at how different stages of plant growth react to a specific virus and found that older plants let the virus spread more easily.
  • Even though older, infected plants are more likely to get sick, they actually produce more seeds than younger ones, showing a trade-off between being sick and having babies.
