Temporal changes of floral color and expression of carotenoids-related genes in flower petal of Osmanthus fragrans var. semperflorens : using de novo transcriptome sequencing. Osmanthus fragrans

Genes of carotenoids biosynthetic pathway were inspected in different flowering stages of two flowering rounds. And we found core genes are regulated under different patterns in the two flowering rounds. Overall design: Genes of carotenoids biosynthesis at six flowering stages were analyzed. Finally, Five replicated were pooled into one sample for each stage
