Molecular cloning, characterization and expression analysis of three key starch synthesis-related genes from the bulb of a rare lily germplasm, Lilium brownii var. giganteum.

Abstract excerpt

Starch is the predominant compound in bulb scales, and previous studies have shown that bulblet development is closely associated with starch enrichment. However, how starch synthesis affects bulbification at the molecular level is unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that Lilium brownii var. giganteum, a wild lily with a giant bulb in nature, and L. brownii, the native species, have different starch levels and...
