Transcriptome profiling of Citrus reticulata reveals differential expression associated with polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) biosynthesis
Transcriptome analysis of Citrus reticulata accessions with divergent polymethoxylated flavones (PMFs) content. RNA sequencing was performed on 18 samples (3 groups , 2 accessions , 3 biological replicates) representing high, medium, and low PMFs accumulation levels. Differential expression analysis was conducted to identify candidate genes involved in PMFs biosynthesis pathways and validate GWAS results.
