Project description:Asparagus is a nutritionally dense stem vegetable whose growth and development are correlated with its quality and yield. For height of 25 cm asparagus , 17-20 cm is still viable, in which the cells can continue to elongate. When 40 cm, the growth in the 17-20 cm range basically stops. Therefore, we picked periods with significant growth differences for transcriptome comparison to find the dynamic changes and underlying mechanisms during the elongation and growth process of asparagus stems. The results showed that the differentially expressed genes were enriched in many aspects, including the metabolism of plant hormones and carbohydrates.
