Crataegus pinnatifida Raw sequence reads
Hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida) is an important fruit crop in China, valued for both medicinal and edible purposes, and has a long history of use as a traditional medicine and food source. In the yellow-peel cultivar 'Jinruyi', the color transition is driven by the accumulation of various pigments. Therefore, in this study, peel samples were collected at five developmental stages and RNA-Seq was employed to obtain the gene expression profiles of hawthorn peel during development.
