Transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis reveals key transcription factors regulating lignin biosynthesis in safflower hull.

Safflower has recently garnered increasing attention as a promising oil crop. The oil content of safflower achenes and the efficiency of subsequent oil extraction are significantly influenced by the hull/pericarp percentage (the ratio of the pericarp weight to the total achene weight). However, the genetic regulation m...
