MicroRNA profiling analysis of developing berries for 'Kyoho' and its early-ripening mutant during berry ripening.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The production of heather (Calluna vulgaris) in Germany is highly dependent on cultivars with mutated flower morphology, the so-called diplocalyx bud bloomers. So far, this unique flower type of C. vulgaris has not been reported in any other plant species. The flowers are characterised by an extremely extend...
