Integrative genomic and functional analyses identify LjbZIP36 as a candidate regulator of β-carotene accumulation during floral color transition in Lonicera japonica

Abstract Background Floral color transition is a characteristic developmental process in Lonicera japonica , during which flowers gradually change from white to golden yellow during flower maturation owing to carotenoid accumulation. Although carotenoid biosynthetic genes have be...
