Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Endogenous Hormone Changes during Spike Development in Phalaenopsis.

ABSTRACT: Phalaenopsis orchids are popular worldwide due to their high ornamental and economic value; the spike and inflorescence formation of their flowers could be efficiently controlled under proper conditions. In this study, transcriptomic profiles and endogenous hormone changes were investigated to better understand the spike formation of Phalaenopsis. Morphological observations revealed four spike initiation statuses (i.e., S0: the status refers to axillary buds remaining dormant in the leaf axils; S1: the status refers to the 0.5 cm-long initial spike; S2: the status refers to the 1 cm-long spike; S3: the status refers to the 3 cm-long spike) during the process of spike development, while anatomical observations revealed four related statuses of inflorescence primordium differen
