Transcriptome sequencing of aerial bulbs
The long-followed practice of using garlic cloves for garlic asexual reproduction has resulted in virus accumulation and genetic depression. Aerial bulbs, the preferred material for virus-free garlic seedling cultivation in vitro, undergo dormancy, but gibberellin can quickly break this state. In this study, exogenous GA3 was applied to dormant aerial bulbs, and transcriptome sequencing was then performed using dormant and gibberellin-treated aerial bulbs. Genes differentially expressed in response to the gibberellin treatment were analyzed and screened, and their relationship to GA3-induced dormancy break of aerial bulbs was explored.
