Comparison of chrysanthemum flowers grown under hydroponic and soil-based systems: yield and transcriptome analysis

Abstract Background Flowers of Chrysanthemum × morifolium Ramat. are used as tea in traditional Chinese cuisine. However, with increasing population and urbanization, water and land availability have become limiting for chrysanthemum tea production. Hydroponic culture enables effective, rapid nutrie...
