Gerbera hybrid cultivar Raw sequence reads. Gerbera hybrid cultivar

Stem bending, which always happens when gerbera flower harvested from the field, greatly limits its vase life. In this study, we performed high-throughput transcriptome sequencing of gerbera at different stem bending stages using the Illumina sequencing technology. The transcriptome sequence provides a valuable resource in revealing the molecular mechanism underlying stem bending of cut flower and offer novel genes that can be used to guide future studies for ornamental plant breeding.
