Age-Dependent Flowering Transition in Cymbidium goeringii: Physiological Characterization and Small RNA Profiling

Age-dependent flowering is a prominent feature of perennial orchids, yet its physiological and small RNA basis remains poorly understood in Cymbidium goeringii. Here, floral bud formation, carbohydrate contents, and endogenous hormones were examined across successive shoot age st...

GhGFS9 promotes proanthocyanidin and anthocyanin accumulation in brown cotton fiber via vesicle trafficking and biosynthetic regulation

Naturally colored cotton (NCC) serves as a green alternative to conventional dyeing processes in the textile industry; however, its limited color spectrum restricts broader application. Proanthocyanidins (PAs) and their derivatives are key pigments in brown cotton fiber, but the...
