Integrative Analyses of Transcriptomes and Metabolomes Reveal Associated Genes and Metabolites with Flowering Regulation in Common Vetch (Vicia sativa L.).

ABSTRACT: As an important source of protein for livestock and human consumption, Vicia sativa is cultivated worldwide, but its seed production is hampered at high altitudes because of the short frost-free period. Flowering represents the transition from a vegetative to a reproductive period, and early flowering benefits plant seed production at high altitudes. However, the molecular mechanisms of flowering regulation in V. sativa remain elusive. In the present study, two V. sativa accessions with different flowering characteristics were used: Lan3 (early-flowering) was cultivated by our laboratory, and 503 (late-flowering) was selected from 222 V. sativa accessions after three years of field experiments. The shoot samples (shoot tip length = 10 cm) of these two accessions
