Transcriptome and metabolite conjoint analysis reveals the seed dormancy release process of perilla.

Seed dormancy is a common physiological phenomenon during storage which has a great impact on timely germination of seeds. An in-depth analysis of the physiological and molecular mechanisms of perilla seed dormancy release is of great significance for cultivating high-vigor perilla varieties. We used gibberellin A3-soaked seeds (GA), natural dormancy-release seeds (CK) and water-soaked seeds (WA) to study the changes in the transcriptome and metabolome of dormancy release.

Identification of a major QTL and candidate genes analysis for branch angle in rapeseed ( L.) using QTL-seq and RNA-seq.

Introduction: Branching angle is an essential trait in determining the planting density of rapeseed ( L.) and hence the yield per unit area. However, the mechanism of branching angle formation in rapeseed is not well understood.

Exploration into Natural Variation Genes Associated with Determinate and Capitulum-like Inflorescence in .

is a globally important vegetable and oil crop. The research is meaningful for the yield and plant architecture of . In this study, one natural mutant line with determinate and capitulum-like inflorescence was chosen for further study.
