Plants, being immobile, are subject to environmental stresses more than other creatures,
necessitating highly effective stress tolerance systems. Transcription factors (TFs) play a …

Flowering plants have evolved extraordinarily diverse metabolites that underpin the floral
visual and olfactory signals enabling plant–pollinator interactions. In some cases, these …

Cotton (Gossypium spp.) is one of the most important fiber crops worldwide. In the last two
decades, transgenesis and genome editing have played important roles in cotton …

Blotches in floral organs attract pollinators and promote pollination success. Tree peony
(Paeonia suffruticosa Andr.) is an internationally renowned cut flower with extremely high …

Anthocyanin accumulations in the flowers can improve seed production of hybrid lines, and
produce higher commodity value in cotton fibre. However, the genetic mechanism …

Background Anthocyanins are important contributors to coloration across a wide
phylogenetic range of plants. Biological functions of anthocyanins span from reproduction to …

Abstract Background Asian cotton (Gossypium arboreum L.), as a precious germplasm
resource of cotton with insect resistance and stress tolerance, possesses a broad spectrum …

Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is one of the important fiber crops. Cotton flowers
usually appear white (or cream-colored) without colored spots at the petal base, and turn …

The cotton genus comprises both diploid and allotetraploid species, and the diversity in
petal colour within this genus offers valuable targets for studying orthologous gene function …

Although a few cases of genetic epistasis in plants have been reported, the combined
analysis of genetically phenotypic segregation and the related molecular mechanism …
