Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: The orange head phenotype of Br - or resulted from a large insertion in carotenoid isomerase (BrCRTISO) . Comparative transcriptome analysis revealed that the mutation affected the expression of abundant transcription factor genes. A new orange trait-specific marker was developed for marker-assisted breeding. Orange head leaves are a desirable quality trait for Chinese cabbage. Our previous fine...
