Genome-Wide Identification of the Castanea mollissima MADS-Box Gene Family and Its Potential Roles in Female Flower Development Based on Transcriptomic and Morphological Analyses

Here, two more-female cultivars, ‘Longquanzhuang No. 2’ (LQ) and ‘Yanqiu’ (YQ), and the control cultivar ‘Yanshanzaofeng’ (ZF) were sampled at five...
