Deciphering the Arabidopsis Floral Transition Process by Integrating a Protein-Protein Interaction Network and Gene Expression Data

【摘要】：正In a plant,the progression from vegetative growth to reproductive growth is called the floral transition.Over the past several decades, the floral transition has been shown to be determined not by a single gene but by a gene network.However,investigation of this critical biological process at a large-scale network level has rarely been reported. We collected Arabidopsis protein-protein interaction data from several public databases and compiled them into a genome-wide
