    • Figure 1.  Transcriptome sequencing of 'Dafugui'. (a) Materials of 'Dafugui' in three periods. T1, critical period of flower bud differentiation; T2, flower bud morphogenesis; T3, peak flowering. (b) Unigene length distribution.

    • Figure 2.  Gene functional annotation. (a) Venn diagram of the number of unigenes annotated in different public databases. (b) Species distribution of NR annotation. (c) Functional classification of KOG annotation. The x-axis represents the corresponding number of Unigene, the y-axis represents the KOG function classification name.

    • Figure 3.  GO and KEGG Pathway analysis of DEGs. (a) Functional distribution of DEGs annotated GO. The x-axis represents the number of genes annotated GO and the y-axis represents the functional distribution of GO. (b) Bubble diagram of enrichment of DEGs KEGG pathway. The x-axis is enrichment ratio, the y-axis is KEGG Pathway, the bubble size indicates the number of genes annotated on one KEGG pathway, the color represents enrichment Q-value, and darker color represents smaller Q-value.

    • Figure 4.  qRT-PCR validations of expression levels of DEGs.

    • Figure 5.  Sequence analysis of PlFT. (a) Amino-acid comparision between PlFT and FT homologues from other species. (b) Phylogenetic tree based on the amino acid sequences from PlFT and other species.

    • Figure 6.  Identification of the PlFT gene in A. thaliana. (a) GUS staining results of transgenic Arabidopsis lines with PlFT gene. (b) Relative expression level of target genes in transgenic lines. ft-10 is mutant plant, Col-0 is wild-type plant, other numbers are PlFT transgenic plants.

    • Figure 7.  Phenotypic analysis of the PlFT gene in A. thaliana. (a) Phenotype of transgenic Arabidopsis (Scale = 1 cm). (b) Flowering time of Arabidopsis DAE in the figure indicates the days after emergence and indicate significant differences (P < 0.01). (c) Heat map of the leaves of the rosette of Arabidopsis thaliana.
