Fruit characteristics of sweet watermelon are largely the result human selection. Here we report an improved reference genome and whole-genome resequencing 414 accessions representing all extant species in Citrullus genus. Population genomic analyses reveal evolutionary history Citrullus, suggesting independent evolutions amarus lineage containing lanatus mucosospermus. Our findings indicate that different loci affecting fruit size have been under selection during speciation, domestication...
Trehalose can effectively protect the biomolecular structure, maintain balance of cell metabolism, and improve tolerance to various abiotic stresses in plants. However, molecular mechanism underlying improvement salt by exogenous trehalose watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) seedlings is still unclear. To understand these mechanisms, this study, under stress were treated with concentrations trehalose. An amount 20 mM significantly improved physiological status; increased activities enzymes such...
With the increase in watermelon cultivation area, there is an urgent need to explore enzymatic and genetic resources for sustainable development of watermelon, especially under salt stress. Among various compounds known, trehalose plays important role regulating abiotic stress tolerances diverse organisms, including plants. Therefore, present study comprehensively analyzed trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) gene family watermelon. The functional classification, evolutionary...
To balance the relationship between high yield and low nitrogen supply, utilization efficiency of watermelon needs to be improved urgently. Nodule inception-like Protein (NLP) transcription factors play a key node role in nitrate response growth development plant, however, comprehensive analysis NLP gene family is unclear. This study explored functional classification, evolutionary characteristics, expression profile ClNLP family. Three ClNLPs were categorized into three groups according...
In vitro gynogenesis is an important tool used in haploid or homozygous double-haploid plant breeding. However, because of low repeatability, embryoid induction rate and quality, the molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Heat shock treatment can promote transformation gametophytic pathway into sporophyte pathway, which induces occurrence haploid. this study, unfertilized ovaries were heat shocked for 0 h (A0) before flowering (A1), 4 (A3), 8 (A5), 12 (A7), 24 (A8), respectively, at...
Salt stress seriously reduced the yield and quality of watermelon restricted sustainable development industry. However, molecular mechanism in response to salt is still unclear. In this study, 150 mmol·L−1 NaCl was used deal with seedlings salt-tolerant salt-sensitive varieties. Physiological characteristics showed that significantly biomass accumulation K+ roots leaves increased content Na+, Cl−, malondialdehyde (MDA). Compared variety, variety had higher accumulation, lower Cl− MDA leaves....
Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai) is an important cucurbit crop grown worldwide. fruit quality, fertility, and seed-setting rate are closely related to male flower development. In this study, the different developmental stages of buds watermelon cultivar 'Xinteda Zhengkang 9' were distinguished by cytological observation, transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed subsequently. Acetocarmine staining anthers longitudinal transverse diameters unopened measured....
Increasing light energy utilization efficiency is an effective way to increase yield and improve quality of watermelon. Leaf the main place for photosynthesis, color leaf directly related change photosynthesis. In addition, yellowing can be used as a marker trait play important role in watermelon hybrid breeding seed breeding. It not only eliminate hybrids at seedling stage, but also determine purity. this study, transcriptome analysis was first carried out using whole growth period mutant...
Cerebral sparganosis is a rare parasitic infection of the brain tissue. The remission MRI change and clinical symptom has been used to evaluate therapeutic effect. However, there no study correlate serum IgG antibody level sparganum prognosis disease after treatment.87 patients with cerebral were collected from three medical centers. Clinical symptoms changes evaluated at 12 months initial treatment, was 2, 6, treatment. positive cut-off value based on 2.1 times optical density (OD) negative...
Abstract Background: Watermelon ( Citrullus lanatus ), a major fresh fruit, is planted worldwide. Because double haploid plants may be used as parents to shorten watermelon breeding cycle, the present study optimized conditions for regenerating from ovaries without pollination. Results: The results revealed that, 10% sodium hypochlorite sterilized 10 min best ovary enlargement. In addition, dark culture period of 14 days promoted MS medium containing 0.5 mg/L NAA, 1.0 6-BA and 0.5mg/L KT...
is a major parasitic plant disease in watermelon production, causing serious economic losses. Although there are many studies on root-knot nematode, the resistance mechanism still unclear. In this study, order to fully understand of relatively strongly resistant 'Hongzi watermelon' variety and susceptible 'M16' were used as materials, combined with RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), analyze expression abundance varieties at 0, 2, 8 15 days post-infection (DPI) by
