Genome-Wide Identification of Terpene Synthase Genes in Siraitia grosvenorii Reveals Sexual Dimorphism in Floral Traits and a Fruit-Specific Candidate SgTPS49

Background: Siraitia grosvenorii (monk fruit) is a dioecious medicinal crop native to southern China, yet its terpene synthase (TPS) gene family and the molecular basis of floral sexual dimorphism remain unexplored. Methods: Genome-wide identification of the TPS gene family was performed using HMMER and BLAST-based app...
