Comprehensive Transcriptome and Metabolic Profiling of Petal Color Development in Lycoris sprengeri

Lycoris sprengeri (L. sprengeri) is an important ornamental bulbous plant, and its numerous varieties in different color forms are widely planted. Multiple color types of petals in L. sprengeri provide us with possibilities to delineate the complicated metabolic networks underlying the biochemical t...
