Regardless of their maturity at harvest, the vase life of cut inflorescences of the hybrid Limonium ‘Fantasia’ placed in deionized water was 4 to 5 days. A vase solution containing Physan (a quaternary ammonium disinfectant solution) at 200 μl•liter–1 and 20 g sucrose/liter not only prolonged the longevity of individual florets but also promoted bud opening so that the vase life of cut inflores...

Floret-opening time (FOT) refers to the between florets opening and closing within a day, is crucial agricultural trait for reproductive development, thermal tolerance hybrid breeding in rice. However, little known about genetic basis genes controlling FOT Here, we report mapping transcriptome analysis of japonica rice cultivar G23. Combining QTLseqr GradedPool-seq (GPS) methods, located major ...
