Project description:Marigold (Tagetes erecta L.) is an important ornamental plant with a wide variety of colors. Despite its economic value, there are few biochemical and molecular basic studies of flower color in marigold. To study the mechanism behind its color formation, metabolomics analysis and de novo cDNA sequencing was performed on marigold inbred line ‘V-01’ and its petal color mutant ‘V-01M’, in four flower developmental stages.

Project description:The complete chloroplast genome of Agapanthus praecox (Agapanthaceae), an ornamental and medicinal plant
Project description:Asterids is one of the major plant clades comprising of many commercially important medicinal species. One of the major concerns in medicinal plant industry is adulteration/contamination resulting from misidentification of herbal plants. This study reports the construction and validation of a microarray capable of fingerprinting medicinally important species from the Asterids clade.
