Revealing the developmental dynamics in male strobilus transcriptome of Gnetum luofuense using nanopore sequencing technology

Abstract Gnetum is a pantropical distributed gymnosperm genus. As being dioecious, Gnetum species apply female and male strobili to attract and provide nutrition to insect pollinators. Due to its unique gross morphology, a Gnetum male strobilus receives much attention in previous taxonomic and evolu...
