Integrative Analysis of the Metabolome and Transcriptome Reveals Seed Germination Mechanism in Helleborus thibetanus
Helleborus thibetanus, an endemic species in China, is a medicinal and ornamental plant. The seeds exhibit epicotyl morphophysiological dormancy. In this study, we performed transcriptome and metabolome analyses at four stages: freshly harvested mature seeds (S1), radicle-emerged seeds (S2), seeds with 2 cm root length...
