Integrating flavonoid metabolome and RNA-seq data unveil flower color variation in Bombax ceiba
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 to uncover the mechanism of flower color variation of Bombax ceiba.
