Digital gene expression analysis during floral transition in pak choi (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis)
Digital gene expression profiling technology was used to examine the changes in gene expression during floral transition in pak choi. A total of 1486 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during floral transition were identified, of which 505 were upregulated and 981 were downregulated. Gene ontolog...
