Oct 25, 2021 · To obtain a comprehensive understanding of the petaloid formation in lotus, we used transcriptomic analyses among petal (P), carpel petaloidy (Cp), and carpel (C) from a bowl lotus ‘Sleeping Beauty’.

Our findings provide a high-quality reference genome of American lotus for exploring the genetic divergence and variation between two species and revealed possible genomic bases for petal color, carpel thermogenesis and domestication in lotus.

In this article we will discuss about the structure of Nelumbo nucifera with the help of diagram. Habit: A perennial aquatic herb. Root: Adventitious slender and perennial. Stem: Rhizomatous, branched and rooted in mud. Leaves:

Dec 3, 2021 · We demonstrated for the first time that each carpel comprises a biseriate outer and inner epidermis and thick mesophyll with numerous air canals, which differentiate after pollination into a pericarp with a biseriate palisade exocarp and undifferentiated endocarp.

Nelumbo is characterized by polysymmetric floral development, with some organs originating spirally (petals) and some in simultaneous whorls (stamens and carpels).

Our study showed that DNA methylation may be involved in regulating carpel petaloid. To identify the patterns of gene expression in the petaloid process using WGCNA analysis, 37 candidate genes were found to be related to carpel petaloid.

American lotus is native to North America but some New England populations are certainly introduced. It is thought that Native Americans spread this species from floodplains of major rivers into other areas, as the seeds and tubers were used for food. It can be weedy and difficult to eradicate in lakes and ponds.

Oct 25, 2021 · Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a highly recognized flower with high ornamental value. Flower color and flower morphology are two main factors for flower lotus breeding. Petaloidy is a universal phenomenon in lotus flowers.

Nelumbo belongs to the family Nymphaeaceae, a genus comprising perennial and rhizomatous aquatic plants. Two species of Nelumbo, namely, Nelumbo lutea Pear. and Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn. (lotus), are distributed across various geographical regions.

Background: Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a famous ower with high ornamental value. Flower color and ower morphology are two main factors for ower lotus breeding.
