A large single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) dataset was used to analyze genome-wide diversity in a diverse collection of watermelon cultivars representing globally cultivated, genetic diversity. The marker density required for conducting successful association mapping depends on the extent linkage disequilibrium (LD) within population. Use genotyping by sequencing reveals numbers SNPs that turn generate opportunities and marker-assisted selection, even crops such as which few genomic...
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a phenotypically diverse eudicot diploid (2n = 2x 24) has climacteric and non-climacteric morphotypes show wide variation for fruit firmness, an important trait transportation shelf life. We generated 13,789 SNP markers using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) anchored them to chromosomes understand genome-wide fixation indices (Fst) between various melon genomewide linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay. The FST accessions of cantalupensis inodorus was 0.23. agrestis in...
The exploitation of synthetic polyploids for producing seedless fruits is well known in watermelon. Tetraploid progenitors triploid watermelon plants, compared with their diploid counterparts, exhibit wide phenotypic differences. Although many factors modulate alternative splicing (AS) the effects autopolyploidization on AS are still unknown. In this study, we used tissues leaf, stem, and fruit tetraploid sweet to understand changes gene expression occurrence AS. RNA-sequencing analysis was...
Abstract We used genotyping by sequencing to identify a set of 10,480 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for constructing high-resolution genetic map 1096 cM watermelon. assessed the genome-wide variation in recombination rate (GWRR) across and found an association between GWRR diversity. Collinearity reference sequence watermelon was studied inconsistency chromosome rearrangements. diversity, linkage disequilibrium (LD), selective sweep wild, semi-wild, domesticated accessions...
Our genetic diversity study uses microsatellites of known map position to estimate genome level population structure and linkage disequilibrium, identify genomic regions that have undergone selection during watermelon domestication improvement. Thirty showed evidence selective sweep were scanned for the presence candidate genes using browser (www.icugi.org). We localized sweeps in intergenic regions, close promoters, within exons introns various genes. This provided an convergent evolution...
Thirty-one accessions of Citrullus spp. belonging to lanatus var. , C. citroides and colocynthis were subjected phylogenetic analysis using combined datasets amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) simple sequence repeats (SSRs). Tree topologies inferred by neighbour-joining have resolved the phylogenic relationships among species with special reference established taxonomic classification. In this study, we clearly boundaries various taxa into three well-supported clusters....
Thirty-eight melon accessions, which are of primary breeding importance in the Ukraine, were analysed for diversity. These collections represent a major non-US and non-western Europe source germplasm that have not yet been subjected to molecular characterization. Molecular diversity was estimated based on robust set 465 polymorphisms gathered by amplified fragment length simple sequence repeats (SSR). In this paper, we report 12 newly developed polymorphic SSR primer pairs, their use...
Since their introduction in Europe, pumpkins (Cucurbita maxima Duch.) have rapidly dispersed throughout the world. This is mainly because of wide genetic diversity and Plasticity to thrive a range geographical regions across world, high nutritional value suitability integrate with local cuisines, long shelf life. Competition for growing showy type or mammoth-sized that produce largest fruit entire plant kingdom has drawn attention. In this study, we used genome-wide single nucleotide...
Watermelon is a nutritionally and economically significant crop in the US globally. Gummy Stem Blight (GSB), caused by three cryptic Stagonosporopsis species, one of most devastating diseases affecting watermelon US, impacting plant's above-ground parts. This study aimed to identify key Quantitative Trait Variants (QTVs) that include SNPs In/Dels associated with GSB resistance selfed derivatives advanced multicross interspecific population derived from intercrosses between resistant lines...
Abstract Cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is a serious pest of several crops throughout the world, representing millions United States America dollars worth damage. This can adapt to various cropping systems in wide geographical range and has high migratory potential. It features fecundity develop resistance almost all insecticides used for its management. Several investigations microsatellite markers H. have not been successful because paucity...
Abstract Nearly 5 000 aphid species damage crops, either by sucking plant sap or as disease‐transmitting vectors. Microsatellites are used for understanding molecular diversity and eco‐geographical relationships among species. Expressed sequence tag ( EST )‐microsatellite motifs were identified through an in silico approach using inbuilt simple repeat mining tools dataset. Microsatellite revealed one every five genes containing a motif, out of 9 290 microsatellites mined from Aphis gossypii...
