Transcriptome and metabolome analyses revealing the potential mechanism of seed germination in Polygonatum cyrtonema
Abstract Polygonatum cyrtonema Hua (Huangjing, HJ) has medicinal and edible value in China. However, the seeds of this plant are naturally difficult to germinate. Therefore, to elucidate the mechanism underlying the germination of this plant in order to meet the market demand, the metabolomic and tr...
