Abstract excerpt
Floral pigmentation is essential for ornamental species. This investigation utilized flower tissues from five distinct color phenotypes (dark red, red, orange-red, orange-yellow, yellow) of Bombax ceiba to conduct targeted flavonoid metabolomics and RNA sequencing analyses, resulting in the identification of 137 metabolites and 44,725 genes. The results indicated that the expression levels of BcCHSs, BcCHIs,...
