Linkage maps enable the study of important biological questions. The construction high-density linkage appears more feasible since advent next-generation sequencing (NGS), which eases SNP discovery and high-throughput genotyping large population. However, marker number explosion errors from NGS data challenge computational efficiency map quality methods. Here we report HighMap method for constructing data. employs an iterative ordering error correction strategy based on a k-nearest neighbor...

Abstract Carotenoids play indispensable roles in the ripening process of fleshy fruits. Capsanthin is a widely distributed and utilized natural red carotenoid. However, regulatory genes involved capsanthin biosynthesis remain insufficient. Here, we identified MADS-box transcription factor RIPENING INHIBITOR (MADS-RIN) pepper (Capsicum annuum), which regulates climacteric tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruits, using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). We found MADS-RIN can...

Abstract Autophagy emerges as an essential immunity defense against intracellular pathogens. Here we report that turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) infection activates autophagy in plants and Beclin1 (ATG6), a core component of autophagy, inhibits replication. interacts with NIb, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) TuMV, via highly conserved GDD motif interaction complex is targeted for autophagic degradation likely through adaptor protein ATG8a. Beclin1-mediated NIb inhibited by inhibitors....

Carrot (Daucus carota L.) is an economically important vegetable worldwide and the largest source of carotenoids provitamin A in human diet. Given importance this to humans, research breeding communities on carrot should obtain useful genomic transcriptomic information. The first whole-genome sequences 'DC-27' were de novo assembled analyzed. Transcriptomic 14 genotypes downloaded from Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) mapped sequence...

Epigenetic modifications are implicated in plant adaptations to abiotic stresses. Exposure of plants one stress can induce resistance other stresses, a process termed cross-adaptation, which is not well understood. In this study, we aimed unravel the epigenetic basis elevated heat-tolerance cold-acclimated Brassica rapa by conducting genome-wide DNA methylation analysis leaves from control (CK) and (CA) plants. We found that both demethylation occurred during cold acclimation. Two...

Abstract Celery ( Apium graveolens L.) is a vegetable crop in the Apiaceae family that widely cultivated and consumed because it contains necessary nutrients multiple biologically active ingredients, such as apigenin terpenoids. Here, we report genome sequence of celery based on use HiSeq 2000 sequencing technology to obtain 600.8 Gb data, achieving ~189-fold coverage, from 68 libraries with different insert sizes ranging 180 bp 10 kb length. The assembled has total length 2.21 consists...

Abstract Non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC) is an important leafy vegetable cultivated worldwide. Here, we report the first high-quality, chromosome-level genome of NHCC001 based on PacBio, Hi-C, and Illumina sequencing data. The assembled 405.33 Mb in size with a contig N50 2.83 scaffold 38.13 Mb. Approximately 53% composed repetitive sequences, among which long terminal repeats (LTRs, 20.42% genome) are most abundant. Using Hi-C data, 97.9% (396.83 Mb) sequences were assigned to 10...

Flavonols have been shown to respond a variety of abiotic stresses in plants, including cold stress. Higher total flavonoid content was found non-heading Chinese cabbage (NHCC, Brassica campestris (syn. rapa) ssp. chinensis) after A non-targeted metabolome analysis showed significant increase flavonol content, that quercetin and kaempferol. Here, we an R2R3-MYB transcription factor, BcMYB111, may play role this process. BcMYB111 up-regulated response treatment, with accompanying accumulation...

Summary Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved pathway in eukaryotes that delivers unwanted cytoplasmic materials to the lysosome/vacuole for degradation/recycling. Stimulated autophagy emerges as integral part of plant immunity against intracellular pathogens. In this study, we used turnip mosaic virus (TuMV) a model investigate involvement RNA infection. The small membrane protein 6K2 TuMV, known marker replication site and elicitor unfolded response (UPR), upregulates selective receptor...
