Summary Domestication and improvement are two important stages in crop evolution. Melon ( Cucumis melo L.) is an vegetable with wide phenotypic diversity many horticultural traits, especially fruit size, flesh thickness aroma, which likely the results of long‐term extensive selection during its However, selective signals domestication for these remarkable variations remain unclear. We resequenced 297 wild, landrace improved melon accessions obtained 2 045 412 high‐quality SNPs. Population...

The rind color of watermelon fruit is a significant trait that directly affects consumer acceptability. However, the genetic regulatory mechanisms underlying remain poorly understood. In this study, we crossed two differentiated lines (K2Q “female parent line with light green rind” and K2S “male dark rind”) developed segregated F 2 mapping populations. dynamic development was observed by identifying critical period for transformation as occurring between 7 14 days after pollination (DAP)....

Watermelon fruits exhibit a remarkable diversity of important horticultural phenotypes. In this study, we initiated primary quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping to identify the candidate regions controlling ovary, fruit, and seed Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was carried out for two differentiated watermelon lines, 350 Mb (96%) 354 (97%) re-sequenced reads covered reference de novo assembly, individually. A total 45.53% non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (nsSNPs) 54.47%...

Retinal organoids (ROs) are a three-dimensional culture system mimicking human retinal features that have differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) under specific conditions. Synapse development and maturation in ROs been studied immunocytochemically functionally. However, the direct evidence of synaptic contact ultrastructure is limited, containing both special ribbon synapses conventional chemical synapses. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterized by high...

Anthocyanins are among the most important factors affecting leaf colour of kale, and MYB proteins key transcription regulating their synthesis in plants. In this study, purple-leaf kale 'D07' was used as a test material, complete coding sequence BoMYB determined by homologous cloning. Bioinformatics analysis showed that cDNA region 753 base pairs length encoded predicted 250-amino acid protein with mass 25 kDa an isoelectric point 9.08. The to contain two conserved domains be localized cell...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been implicated in diverse biological processes. However, the functional mechanisms not yet fully explored. Characterizing interactions of lncRNAs with chromatin is central to determining their functions but, due precise and efficient approaches lacking, our understanding has progressed slowly. In this study, we demonstrate that a nuclear lncRNA linc1393 maintains mouse ESC pluripotency by recruiting SET1A near its binding sites, establish H3K4me3 status...

The inheritance of sex determination genes in melon was studied using the populations F 1 , 2 BC P and derived from two parental lines, gynoecious WI998 andromonoecious TopMark. These were segregating at loci for determination: a gene locus m expression. It found that different phenotypes corresponded to genotypes expression: A_G_ = monoecious; A_gg gynomonecious; aaG_ andromonoecious; aagg hemaphrodite; A_ggmm gynoecious. A preliminary genetic mapping these conducted with microsatellite...

Abstract Background Watermelon is an important vegetable crop with dual use of both fruit and seeds. Understanding the genetic basis quality seed size-related traits for efficient marker-assisted breeding in watermelon. Linkage mapping watermelon segregating populations using genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) provides insights into control fruit- seed-related genome collinearity commercial cultivars. Results In present study, we conducted QTL 12 horticulturally on external internal size/weight...

Fruit quality traits are important commercial that directly affect the market value. The rind stripe is primary determinant of watermelon fruit quality, but its genetic basis and underlying gene (s) not well understood. In this study, two contrasted inbred lines (non-striped "K2" striped "L1") were crossed to derive F2:3 mapping population, fine stripping was performed. Genetic segregation analysis proposed striped-rind pattern regulated by locus (ClSP) dominant non-stripped pattern. Fine...
