Abstract excerpt
As a crucial root vegetable, the phenomenon of bolting and flowering presents a significant challenge to the commercial value of carrot. However, the genetic mechanism of carrot bolting remains to be fully elucidated. In this study, we conducted a two-year cultivation experiment with a population of 240 carrots to examine traits associated with bolting. We conducted whole-genome sequencing on these carrots and...
