Abstract:Background Lignin is the main component of walnut endocarp, although we know little about the molecular mechanism of lignin formation in walnut endocarp. To understand the molecular mechanisms behind the two kinds of walnut phenotype and explore the genes involved into lignin formation, transcriptome sequencing was conducted in the walnut endocarp of the ‘Zanmei’ (ZM) and ‘Liaoning 7’ (L7) cultivars, which have different endocarp thicknesses. Compared with L7 walnut endocarp, the endocarp of ZM walnut is thick… Show more
