Evaluation of Ornamental Traits and Their Associations with Genomic Simple Sequence Repeat Markers in Globba sherwoodiana

Globba spp. is a perennial herbaceous plant of the Zingiberaceae family, characterized by its unique floral architecture and diverse coloration with high ornamental and medicinal value. However, research on the genetic basis of Globba is still insufficient, and only a limited num...

Natural variation in the PmbHLH162 promoter regulates anthocyanin biosynthesis and accumulation in Prunus mume

Anthocyanin accumulation is a vital agronomic and ornamental trait, as it not only contributes to adaptation to environmental stress but also enhances ornamental value. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted using 328 accessions of mei (Prunus mume) t...

Genome-Wide Superfamily Profiling Reveals Key Regulator LsAP2/ERF10 That Governs Petal Morphology in Lagerstroemia speciosa

Double-flowered cultivars are generally considered more attractive than single-flowered varieties in ornamental plants. The AP2/ERF transcription factors superfamily plays pivotal roles in plant development, including floral organ formation. Here, a total of 248 AP2/ERF genes wer...
