Effects of gibberellin treatment during flowering induction period on global gene expression and the transcription of flowering-control genes in Citrus buds

► Global gene expression comparison between gibberellin-treated and control citrus buds. ► Flavonoid and trehalose metabolisms are altered in GA-treated buds. ► The expressions of flowering control genes are usually reduced by GA treatment. ► The expression of the gene LFY is induced upon GA-treatment. ► The expression of FT is by far higher in the buds than in leaves.
