Study on differentially expressed genes in the mutant and normal capitula of Chrysanthemum morifolium
Chrysanthemum morifolium is one of the most economically important and pop floricultural crops in the kin Asteraceae . Chrysanthemum flowers vary substantially in full term of colors and shapes . However , the molecular chemical mechanism controlling the development of chrysanthemum flowered color and shapes remains an riddle . The team analyzed a cut - peak chrysanthemum variety that bring on normal capitula composed of ray floweret with normally developed pistils and purple corollas and mutant capitula constitute ray florets with green corollas and vegetative buds instead of pistils ....
