Transcriptomic Analysis Provides Insights into Flowering in Precocious-Fruiting Amomum villosum Lour.

ABSTRACT: Precocious-fruiting Amomum villosum Lour. is characterized by early fruit set, rapid yield formation, and shortened economic return cycles, indicating strong cultivation potential. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its flowering transition remain unclear. To elucidate the flowering mechanism of A. villosum, we used the Illumina NovaSeq X Plus platform to compare gene expression profiles in three tissues (Rhizomes, R; Stems, S; Leaves, L) during the vegetative stage and three tissues (Rhizomes and Inflorescences, R&I; Stems, S; Leaves, L) during the flowering stage of individual plants: VS-R vs. FS-R&I, VS-S vs. FS-S, and VS-L vs. FS-L. We obtained 52.5 Gb clean data and 789 million reads, and identified 2963 novel genes. The 3061 differentially expressed genes (DEG
