Helianthus tuberosus Transcriptome or Gene expression

Functional Analysis and Identification of MADS-box Transcription Factors Related to Tuber Dormancy in Helianthus Tuberosus L.Dormancy-associated MADS-box (DAM) genes play an important role in plant dormancy and release phases. Helianthus tuberosus L. (Jerusalem artichoke) has high resistance to deterioration, and its tubers remain dormant in winter. To understand dormancy characteristics of Jerusalem artichoke tubers, 23 MADS-box gene sequences were identified in a transcriptional library and analyzed. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology was also used to analyze expression changes in different stages of tuber dormancy.
