Transcriptome profiling of Hyacinthus orientalis L. cultivars in floral pigmentation.

ABSTRACT: Hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis L.) is a popular floricultural crop. Its cultivars exhibit a wide range of phenotypic variations, especially flower colours. Yet, the cultivar pedigree was poorly recorded, impeding efficient breeding in producing novel cultivars. In addition, scarce genomic resource of the species hinders the exploration on the molecular mechanism in controlling the diversification of floral colour. In this study, transcriptome profiling was conducted on seven hyacinth cultivars, each representing a major flower colour. RNA-Seq libraries were prepared from 189 samples that were collected in three perianth partitions at three consecutive developmental stages in biological triplicates. A total of 1,256.8 gigabytes data were generated. The reproducibility and variability of ou
