The botanical family Cucurbitaceae includes a variety of fruit crops with global or local economic importance. How their genomes evolve and the genetic basis diversity remain largely unexplored. In this study, we sequence genome wax gourd (Benincasa hispida), which bears giant up to 80 cm in length weighing over 20 kg. Comparative analyses six cucurbit reveal that represents most ancestral karyotype, predicted having 15 proto-chromosomes. We also resequence 146 lines diverse germplasm build...
Plant organ growth and development are determined by a subtle balance between stimulation inhibition. Fruit size shape important quality traits influencing yield market value; however, the underlying mechanism regulating of fruit to achieve final is not well understood. Here, we report mechanistic model that governs cucumber (Cucumis sativus) elongation through fine-tuning ethylene homeostasis. We identified mutant bears short fruits owing repressed cell division. SF1 (Short 1) encodes...
Nitrogen (N) is both an important macronutrient and a signal for plant growth development. However, the early regulatory mechanism of plants in response to N starvation not well understood, especially cucumber, economically crop that normally consumes excessive during production. In this study, time-course transcriptome cucumber leaves under deficiency was monitored using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). More than 23,000 transcripts were examined leaves, which 364 genes differentially expressed...
Abstract Fruits and vegetables in the Cucurbitaceae family, such as cucumber, melon, watermelon, squash, contribute greatly to human diet. The widespread use of genome editing technologies has accelerated gene functional characterization crop improvement. However, most economically important cucurbit plants, including melon remain recalcitrant standard Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation, limiting effective technology. In this study, we used an “optimal infiltration intensity”...
The microbial community performs vital functions in the intestinal system of animals. Modulation gut microbiota structure can indirectly or directly affect health and host metabolism. Aohan fine-wool sheep grow semi-desert grasslands China show excellent stress tolerance. In this study, we amplified 16S rRNA gene to investigate dynamic distribution adaptability microbiome duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, rectum seven at 12 months. results showed that composition diversity ileum large...
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are non-haem iron-containing dioxygenases that catalyse oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids and lipids to initiate the formation a group biologically active compounds called oxylipins. Plant oxylipins play important diverse functions in cells. In current study, expression analysis during cucumber development using semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed 13 23 CsLOX genes were detectable, tissue specific or preferential accumulation. total, 12 found be differentially...
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) proteins participate in diverse and tissue-specific developmental processes by forming various corepressor complexes with different regulatory subunits. An important HDAC machinery hub, the Deacetylase Complex1 (HDC1) protein, participates multiple protein–protein interactions regulates organ size plants. However, mechanistic basis for this regulation remains unclear. Here, we identified a cucumber (Cucumis sativus) short-fruit mutant (sf2) phenotype that includes...
Many biological processes require the co-operative involvement of both microtubules and microfilaments; however, only a few proteins mediating interaction between microfilaments have been identified from plants. In present study, cotton kinesin GhKCH2, which contains CH (calponin homology) domain at N-terminus, was analysed in vitro vivo order to understand its with two cytoskeletal elements. A specific antibody against GhKCH2 prepared used for immunolabelling experiments. Some spots...
Abstract The involvement of cytoskeleton-related proteins in regulating mitochondrial respiration has been revealed mammalian cells. However, it is unclear if there a relationship between the microtubule-based motor protein kinesin and respiration. In this research, we demonstrate that plant-specific kinesin, Kinesin-like 1 (KP1; At KIN14 h), involved respiratory regulation during seed germination at low temperature. Using vitro biochemical methods vivo transgenic cell observations, KP1 able...
Rapid cell division and expansion in early fruit development are important phases for cucumber yield quality. Kinesin proteins microtubule-based motors responsible modulating enlargement. In this work, the candidate kinesin genes involved rapid during were investigated. The morphological cellular changes compared four genotypes with varied size. correlation between expression profiles of was Finally, biochemical characteristics subcellular localizations three kinesins studied. results...
Sugars are necessary for plant growth and fruit development. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) transports sugars, mainly raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs), in the vascular bundle. As dominant sugars cucumber fruit, glucose fructose derived from sucrose, which is product of RFO hydrolysis by α-galactosidase (α-Gal). Here, we characterized alkaline 2 (CsAGA2) gene found that CsAGA2 has undergone human selection during domestication. Further experiments showed expression increases gradually...
Abstract Low‐temperature (LT) stress threatens cucumber production globally; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying LT tolerance in remain largely unknown. Here, using a genome‐wide association study (GWAS), we found naturally occurring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) STAYGREEN ( CsSGR ) coding region at gLTT5.1 locus associated with tolerance. Knockout mutants of generated by clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR‐associated nuclease 9 exhibit...
Hot pepper ( Capsicum annuum cv. Battle) was grown in a 1:1 v/v sand-to-cotton stalk compost and subjected to four irrigation treatments: 100% of water-holding capacity (control) 85%, 70%, 55% capacity, which were considered deficit treatments. All treatments given the plants at first day transplanting continued during whole growing season. Our results demonstrated that had negative effect on plant growth yield. Increasing deficiency exhibited reduction vegetative growth, fruit parameters,...
