Transcriptome profiling of spike provides expression features of genes related to terpene biosynthesis in lavender

Abstract Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is an important economic plant because of the value of its essential oil (EO). The Yili Valley in Xinjiang has become the largest lavender planting base in China. However, there is a lack of research on the gene expression regulation of EO biosynthesis and...
