Decoding a unique double flower pattern in herbaceous peony: insight into proliferate flower bud development
The proliferate flower, a special type of double flower pattern, can be divided into upper and lower flowers. For lower flowers, the varying degrees of petaloid stamens are attributed to the diversity of proliferate flower cultivars, while the proliferation and directional mutation of pistils lead to the origination of upper flowers. For upper flowers, differentiation of the floral apical meristem includes petals, stamens and pistils. The limited expression of PlAG suggests its involvement in the induction of proliferate flowers.
