Open AccessIntegrative analysis of transcriptome and target metabolites uncovering flavonoid biosynthesis regulation of changing petal colors in Nymphaea ‘Feitian 2’
Nymphaea (waterlily) is known for its rich colors and role as an important aquatic ornamental plant globally. Nymphaea atrans and some hybrids, including N. ‘Feitian 2,’ are more appealing due to the gradual colo...

TaMADS29 interacts with TaNF-YB1 to synergistically regulate early grain development in bread wheat
Grain development is a crucial determinant of yield and quality in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying wheat grain development remain elusive. Here we report how TaMA...

Functional identification of anthocyanin glucosyltransferase genes: a Ps3GT catalyzes pelargonidin to pelargonidin 3-O-glucoside painting the vivid red flower color of Paeonia
Glycosylation from an anthocyanidin 3-O-glucosyltransferase Ps3GT (PsUGT78A27) facilitates the accumulation of pelargonidin 3-O-glucoside, which defines the vivid red flower color and occurs only in specific peon...

Open AccessMetabolic profile and transcriptome reveal the mystery of petal blotch formation in rose
Petal blotch is a unique ornamental trait in angiosperm families, and blotch in rose petal is rare and has great esthetic value. However, the cause of the formation of petal blotch in rose is still unclear. Th...

Open AccessChloroplast development and genomes uncoupled signaling are independent of the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway
The Arabidopsis genome is methylated in CG and non-CG (CHG, and CHH in which H stands for A, T, or C) sequence contexts. DNA methylation has been suggested to be critical for seed development, and CHH methylat...
