Weeping candidate genes screened using comparative transcriptomic analysis of weeping and upright progeny in an F1 population of Prunus mume.

Weeping is a specific plant architecture with high ornamental value. Despite the considerable importance of the weeping habit to landscaping applications and knowledge of plant architecture biology, little is known regarding the underlying molecular mechanisms. In this study, growth and phytohormone content were analyzed among the progeny of different branch types in an F1 mapping population of Prunus mume with varying plant architecture.

Differences in flavonoid pathway metabolites and transcripts affect yellow petal colouration in the aquatic plant Nelumbo nucifera.

Background: The Asia lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) is an ornamental aquatic plant with high economic value. Flower colour is an important ornamental trait, with much of N.

Genome-wide analyses of the bHLH gene family reveals structural and functional characteristics in the aquatic plant .

Lotus ( Gaertn.) is an economically important aquatic plant with multiple applications, but water salinity and cold stress seriously affect lotus yield and distribution. The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) play a vital role in plant growth and development, metabolic regulation processes and responses to environmental changes.

Detection of Highly Differentiated Genomic Regions Between Lotus ( Gaertn.) With Contrasting Plant Architecture and Their Functional Relevance to Plant Architecture.

The lotus ( Gaertn.) is one of the most economically and ornamentally important perennial aquatic plants. Plant architecture is an important trait for lotus classification, cultivation, breeding, and applications.
