Comparative transcriptome analysis reveals candidate genes for cold stress response and early flowering in pineapple.

ABSTRACT: Pineapple originates from tropical regions in South America and is therefore significantly impacted by cold stress. Periodic cold events in the equatorial regions where pineapple is grown may induce early flowering, also known as precocious flowering, resulting in monetary losses due to small fruit size and the need to make multiple passes for harvesting a single field. Currently, pineapple is one of the most important tropical fruits in the world in terms of consumption, and production losses caused by weather can have major impacts on worldwide exportation potential and economics. To further our understanding of and identify mechanisms for low-temperature tolerance in pineapple, and to identify the relationship between low-temperature stress and flowering time, we report here a transcrip
