Years of selection for desirable fruit quality traits in dessert watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) has resulted a narrow genetic base modern cultivars. Development novel genomic and resources offers great potential to expand diversity improve important watermelon. Here, we report high-quality genome sequence cultivar 'Charleston Gray', principal American watermelon, complement the existing reference from '97103', an East Asian cultivar. Comparative analyses between genomes Gray' '97103'...
Abstract Type-IV glandular trichomes, which only occur in the juvenile developmental phase of cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), produce acylsugars that broadly protect against arthropod herbivory. Previously, we introgressed capacity to retain type-IV trichomes adult from wild tomato, Solanum galapagense, into species cv. Micro-Tom (MT). The resulting MT-Galapagos enhanced trichome (MT-Get) introgression line contained 5 loci associated with enhancing density plants. We genetically...
The plant microbiome is a key determinant of health and productivity, changes in the can alter tolerance to biotic abiotic stresses quality end produce. Little known about microbial diversity its effect on carbohydrate metabolism ripe fruits. In this study, we aimed understand function microorganisms relation watermelon We used 16S metagenomics RNAseq metatranscriptomics for analysis red (PI459074, Congo, SDRose) yellow fruit-flesh cultivars (PI227202, PI435990, JBush) geographically...
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes act as transporters for different molecules across biological membranes and are involved in a diverse range of processes. In this study, we performed genome-wide identification expression analysis encoding ABC proteins three Capsicum species, i.e., annuum, baccatum chinense. is valuable horticultural crop worldwide an important constituent many foods while containing several medicinal compounds including capsaicin dihydrocapsaicin. Our results...
The ankyrin (ANK) repeat protein family is largely distributed across plants and has been found to participate in multiple processes such as plant growth development, hormone response, response biotic abiotic stresses. It considered one of the major markers capsaicin content pepper fruits. In this study, we performed a genome-wide identification expression analysis genes encoding ANK proteins three Capsicum species: baccatum, annuum chinense. We identified total 87, 85 96 C. chinense...
The heavy-metal-associated (HMA) proteins are a class of PB1-type ATPases related to the intracellular transport and detoxification metals. However, due lack information regarding HMA gene family in Cucurbitaceae family, comprehensive genome-wide analysis was performed ten species: Citrullus amarus, colocynthis, lanatus, mucosospermus, Cucumis melo, sativus, Cucurbita maxima, moschata, pepo, Legenaria siceraria. We identified 103 Cucurbit with various members, ranging from 8 (Legenaria...
Habanero peppers constantly face biotic and abiotic stresses such as pathogen/pest infections, extreme temperature, drought UV radiation. In addition, the fruit cutin lipid composition plays an important role in post-harvest water loss rates, which turn causes shriveling reduced quality storage. this study, we integrated metabolome transcriptome profiling pertaining to two habanero genotypes: PI 224448 257145. The fruits were selected by waxy or glossy phenotype on their surfaces....
Polyploidy has played a crucial role in plant evolution, development and function. Synthetic autopolyploid represents an ideal system to investigate the effects of polyploidization on transcriptional regulation. In this study, we deciphered impact genome duplication at phenotypic molecular levels watermelon. Overall, 88% genes tetraploid watermelon followed >1:1 dosage effect, accordingly, differentially expressed were largely upregulated. addition, great number hypomethylated regions (1688)...
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are regulators of the post-transcription stage gene activity documented to play central roles in flower and fruit development model plant species. However, little is known about their differences domesticated wild Capsicum In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing analyze miRNA content at three developmental stages (flower, small fruit, middle fruit) from two cultivated (C. baccatum C. annuum) chacoense eximium) pepper This analysis revealed 22 27 novel miRNAs...
The habanero pepper (
Arsenic (As), a metalloid of considerable toxicity, has become increasingly bioavailable through anthropogenic activities, raising As contamination levels in groundwater and agricultural soils worldwide. This bioavailability profound implications for plant biology farming systems. can detrimentally affect crop yield pose risks bioaccumulation subsequent entry into the food chain. Upon exposure to As, plants initiate multifaceted molecular response involving crucial signaling pathways, such...
Abatement of NH emissions is crucial in calcareous soils under semiarid Mediterranean climates. The aim the study was to compare using different slurry application methods. An experiment performed on a clay loam soil evaluate before sowing and at winter cereal tillering. Pig applied two methods, one that by splashing it over plate (SP), another strips trail hoses (TH). Emissions were measured semi-static chambers variable intervals for 12 13 d (315.5 h 287 tillering). Maximum flux always...
One of the greatest impacts on gastrointestinal microbiome is diet because host and share same food source. In addition, effect can diverge depending genotype. Diets supplemented with phytochemicals found in peppers might cause shifts microbiome. Thus, understanding how these interactions occur reveal potential health implications associated such changes. This study aims to explore gut different Drosophila genetic backgrounds effects dietary pepper treatments its composition structure. We...
