Transcriptomic analysis of differentially expressed genes in the floral transition of the summer flowering chrysanthemum.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chrysanthemum is a leading cut flower species. Most conventional cultivars flower during the fall, but the Chrysanthemum morifolium 'Yuuka' flowers during the summer, thereby filling a gap in the market. To date, investigations of flowering time determination have largely focused on fall-flowering types. Little is known about molecular basis of flowering time in the summer-flowering chrysanthemum. Here, the genome-wide transcriptome of 'Yuuka' was acquired using RNA-Seq technology, with a view to shedding light on the molecular basis of the shift to reproductive growth as induced by variation in the photoperiod.

Results

Two sequencing libraries were prepared from the apical meristem and leaves of plants exposed to short days, three from plants exposed to long days
