Project description:In the family Fagaceae, fertilization is delayed by several weeks to more than one year after pollination, leading to one- or two-year fruiting species depending on whether fruiting occurs in the same or the next year of flowering. Although delayed fertilization was recorded over a century ago, underlying mechanisms remain to be explored. To uncover the key genes associated with delayed fertilization, we obtain and analyze the comparative molecular phenology data over two years in one-year (Quercus glauca) and two-year fruiting species (Lithocarpus edulis).
