Comparative transcriptomics of two petal variants reveals key functional genes underlying petal shape development in lotus (Nelumbo) by Jiaxin He, Jiaxin He, Yini Ma, Qingqing Liu, Rui Zhang, Guohong Huang, Dasheng Zhang, Fengluan Liu, Caixia Yang

“…Using RNA-sequencing technology, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between variant and wild-type petals were identified, followed by gene ontology (GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. By integrating the results of morphological and enrichment analysis, key genes involved in the development of wide and narrow petal shapes in lotus were identified.ResultsIt revealed that the broad petal variation of M512 was caused by a reduction in petal length while maintaining width, whereas the narrow petal phenotype of CSFY resulted from a combination of increased length and decreased width. …”
