Chromosome-level genome assembly of Hamlin sweet orange and transcriptomic insights into MADS-box gene regulation of secondary fruit development

Introduction The MADS-box gene family comprises key transcription factors that regulate plant growth and development, particularly flower and fruit morphogenesis. However, the evolutionary characteristics of this gene family in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) and their specific regulatory roles in secondary fruit develo...
