Post-pollination sepal longevity of female flower co-regulated by energy-associated multiple pathways in dioecious spinach.

ABSTRACT: Reproductive growth is a bioenergetic process with high energy consumption. Pollination induces female flower longevity in spinach by accelerating sepal retention and development. Cellular bioenergetics involved in cellular growth is at the foundation of all developmental activities. By contrast, how pollination alter the sepal cells bioenergetics to support energy requirement and anabolic biomass accumulation for development is less well understood. To investigate pollination-induced energy-associated pathway changes in sepal tissues after pollination, we utilized RNA-sequencing to identify transcripts that were differentially expressed between unpollinated (UNP) and pollinated flower sepals at 12, 48, and 96HAP. In total, over 6756 non-redundant DEGs were identified followed by pairwise
