Abstract
The advances in genomics and bioinformatics have made possible the study in non-model plants of phenotypes associated to flower development. Floriculture crops are an interesting source of traits associated to flower development such as the transition between zygomorphic and actinomorphic flowers or the production of flowers with double and triple corollas. In this chapter, we summarize the material and methods for the use of floriculture crops to study flower development using genomic tools, from the sequencing and assembly of a reference genome to QTL and RNA-Seq analysis to search candidate genes associated to specific traits.
