Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of flowering-related genes reveal putative floral induction and differentiation mechanisms in tea plant (Camellia sinensis).

Abstract excerpt

The tea leaf is economically important, while reproductive growth reduce tea output. However, little is known about flowering mechanisms in tea plants. Here, we determined the approximate times of floral induction, floral transition and floral organ differentiation by morphological observation. We identified 401 and 356 flowering-related genes from the genomes of Camellia sinensis var. sinensis and Camellia...
