Transcriptome Analysis and Screening of Genes Associated with Flower Size in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum).

ABSTRACT: Flower development is not only an important way for tomato reproduction but also an important guarantee for tomato fruit production. Although more and more attention has been paid to the study of flower development, there are few studies on the molecular mechanism and gene expression level of tomato flower development. In this study, RNA-seq analysis was performed on two stages of tomato flower development using the Illumina sequencing platform. A total of 8536 DEGs were obtained by sequencing, including 3873 upregulated DEGs and 4663 down-regulated DEGs. These differentially expressed genes are related to plant hormone signaling, starch and sucrose metabolism. The pathways such as pentose, glucuronate interconversion, and Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis are closely related and mainly involve
