Abstract excerpt
Gaillardia plants have been widely cultivated in China and have become an important component of garden landscaping. Different from the common ligulate ray floret, the cornflower-like (funnel-shaped) ray floret is a special phenotype variation in Gaillardia species. Previous studies revealed that CYC-like genes could shape the floret phenotype in Compositae. To reveal the molecular mechanism of the...
