Background: Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a famous flower with high ornamental value. Flower color and flower morphology are two main factors for flower lotus breeding. Petaloid is a universal phenomenon in lotus flowers. However, the genetic regulation of floral organ petaloid in lotus still remains unclear.
Result: In this study, transcriptomic analysis was performed among five organs, including petal, stamen petaloid, stamen, carpel petaloid, and carpel in lotus. Using WGCNA analysis, 37 candidate genes were found to be related to carpel petaloid. Additionally, one floral homeotic gene encoded MADS box transcription factor, AGAMOUS (AG), was identified as candidate gene for petaloid in lotus.
Conclusion: The above results explored the candidate genes related to petaloid, setting a theoretical basis for the molecular regulation of petaloid.
