Genome-wide alternative polyadenylation dynamics underlying plant growth retardant-induced dwarfing of pomegranate.

ABSTRACT: Dwarfed stature is a desired agronomic trait for pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), with its advantages such as lower cost and increased yield. A comprehensive understanding of regulatory mechanisms underlying the growth repression would provide a genetic foundation to molecular-assisted dwarfing cultivation of pomegranate. Our previous study induced dwarfed pomegranate seedlings via exogenous application of plant growth retardants (PGRs) and highlighted the important roles of differential expression of plant growth-related genes in eliciting the dwarfed phenotype of pomegranate. Alternative polyadenylation (APA) is an important post-transcriptional mechanism and has been demonstrated to act as a key regulator in plant growth and development. However, no attention has been pai
