Tagetes erecta is an important commercial plant of Asteraceae family. The male sterile (MS) and fertile (MF) two-type lines T. have been utilized in F1 hybrid production for many years, but no report has made to identify the genes that specify its sterility caused by homeotic conversion floral organs. In this study, transcriptome assembly digital gene expression profiling were performed generate profiles MS MF plants. A cDNA library was generated from equal mixture RNA isolated flower buds...

Terpene synthases (TPSs) are essential for forming terpenes, which play numerous functional roles in attracting pollinators, defending plants, and moderating the interaction between plants. TPSs have been reported some orchids, but genome-wide identification of terpenes Cymbidium faberi is still lacking. In this study, 32 putative TPS genes were classified C. divided into three subfamilies (TPS-a, TPS-b, TPS-e/f). Motif gene structure analysis revealed that most CfTPS had conserved...
