In conclusion, the current RNA-seq and DEG analysis revealed 393 genes associated to the floral development, including 35 TCP transcription factors (TFs), 118 MADS-box genes and 240 flowering time related genes. A total of 173 DEGs were identified, including 12 TCP genes, 34 MADS-box genes and 28 flowering time related genes. The transcriptome database in the present study will be a valuable supplement to the genomic sequence dataset of C. faberi, and will serve as an important public information platform for further studies on the flower development mechanism in C. faberi.
