Abstract

Bulbs of the ornamental flower Lilium pumilum enter a period of dormancy after flowering in spring, and require exposure to cold for a period of time in order to release dormancy. Previous studies focused mainly on anatomical, physiological and biochemical changes during dormancy release. There are no dormancy studies of the northern cold-hardy wild species of Lilium at the molecular level. This study observed bulb cell and starch granule ultrastructures during cold storage; and analysed the transcriptome using sequencing. The combination of morphological and transcriptomic methods provides valuable insights into dormancy release during cold storage of Lilium pumilum. Ultrastructural changes reflected dormancy release during cold storage of the bulbs. We compared gene expression levels among samples at 0 (S1 stage), 30 (S2 stage), 60 (S3 stage) and 90 (S4 stage) d of cold storage, with 0 d as the control. The data showed that some regulatory pathways such as carbohydrate metabolism and plant hormone signal transduction were activated to break dormancy. Some differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to antioxidant activity, epigenetic modification and transcription factors were induced to respond to low temperature conditions. These genes constituted a complex regulatory mechanism of dormancy release. Cytological data related to dormancy regulation was obtained through histomorphological observation; transcriptome sequencing provided comprehensive sequences and digital gene expression tag profiling (DGE) data, and bulb cell ultrastructural changes were closely related to DEGs. The novel Lilium pumilum genetic information from this study provides a reference for the regulation of dormancy by genetic engineering using molecular biology tools.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 April 2018.
All research outputs
#15,498,204
of 23,031,582 outputs
Outputs from BMC Genomics
#6,721
of 10,697 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#213,372
of 333,770 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Genomics
#119
of 184 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,031,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,697 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 333,770 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 184 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
