Yijun Ruan and colleagues report the draft genome of sweet orange, Citrus sinensis. Their data suggests orange originated from a cross between pummelo mandarin. Oranges are an important nutritional source for human health have immense economic value. Here we present comprehensive analysis (Citrus sinensis). The assembled sequence covers 87.3% estimated genome, which is relatively compact, as 20% composed repetitive elements. We predicted 29,445 protein-coding genes, half in heterozygous...
Background Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungal pathogen oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), is one of most destructive diseases banana. Toxins produced Foc have been proposed to play an important role during pathogenic process. The objectives this study were investigate contamination banana with toxins Foc, and elucidate their in pathogenesis. Methodology/Principal Findings Twenty isolates representing races 1 4 isolated from diseased bananas five Chinese provinces. Two consistently associated...
Plants contain a range of aquaporin (AQP) proteins, which act as transporter water and nutrient molecules through living membranes. AQPs also participate in uptake the roots contribute to homeostasis leaves.
Plant growth and development can be adversely affected by cold stress, limiting productivity. The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family comprises important detoxifying enzymes, which play major roles in biotic abiotic stress responses reducing the oxidative damage caused reactive oxygen species. Pumpkins (Cucurbitamaxima) are widely grown, economically important, nutritious; however, their yield severely stress. identification of putative candidate genes responsible for cold-stress...
Abstract Background Ensete glaucum (2n = 2x 18) is a giant herbaceous monocotyledonous plant in the small Musaceae family along with banana (Musa). A high-quality reference genome sequence assembly of E. resource for functional and evolutionary studies Ensete, Musaceae, Zingiberales. Findings Using Oxford Nanopore Technologies, chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C), Illumina RNA survey sequence, supported by molecular cytogenetics, we report 481.5 Mb 9 pseudo-chromosomes 36,836 genes. total...
Sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) is one of the major cultivated and most-consumed citrus species. With goal enhancing genomic resources in citrus, we surveyed, developed characterized microsatellite markers ≈347 Mb sequence assembly sweet genome. A total 50,846 SSRs were identified with a frequency 146.4 SSRs/Mbp. Dinucleotide repeats are most frequent repeat class highest density was found chromosome 4. non-randomly distributed genome (62.02%) located intergenic regions. We that AT-rich more...
Protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) and PDI-like proteins contain thioredoxin domains that catalyze protein bond, inhibit aggregation of misfolded proteins, function in isomerization during folding endoplasmic reticulum responses abiotic stresses.Chinese cabbage is widely recognized as an economically important, nutritious vegetable, but its yield severely hampered by various biotic stresses. Because of, it prime need to identify those genes whose are responsible for stress tolerance. PDI...
Fusarium wilt is one of the most serious threats to banana production worldwide. The disease caused by soil-borne fungal pathogen oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), especially tropical race 4 (Foc TR4). It has been reported that crop rotation and intercropping Chinese leek (Allium tuberosum) with can effectively reduce incidence in field. In this study, we investigated toxic mechanism bioactive compounds root exudates (CLREs) acting against Foc TR4. vitro experiments showed CLREs inhibit...
Abstract In this study, two different hybrids of Easter lily ( Lilium longiflorum) , obtained from cross combinations, along with their four parents were sequenced by high–throughput RNA–sequencing (RNA–Seq) to find out differentially expressed gene in parent-hybrid combinations. The leaf mRNA profiles and RNA–sequenced a view identify the potential candidate genes related plant height heterosis. both based morphological traits mid–parent heterosis (MPH) was higher than high–parent (HPH) for...
Anthocyanins are plant secondary metabolites with key roles in attracting insect pollinators and protecting against biotic abiotic stresses. They have potential health-promoting effects as part of the human diet. Anthocyanin biosynthesis has been elucidated many species, enabling development anthocyanin-enriched fruits, vegetables, grains; however, few studies investigated Brassica napus anthocyanin biosynthesis. We developed a high-anthocyanin resynthesized B. line, Rs035, by crossing...
Lilies (Lilium sp.) are commercially important horticultural crops widely cultivated for their flowers and bulbs. Here, we conducted large-scale data mining of the lily transcriptome to develop transcription factor (TF)-associated microsatellite markers (TFSSRs). Among 216,768 unigenes extracted from our sequence data, 6966 harbored simple repeats (SSRs). Seventy-one SSRs were associated with TF genes, these used design primers validate potential as markers. These 71 accomplished 31...
Onion (Allium cepa L.) is an economically important vegetable crop around the world. Genetic and genomic research into various onion accessions will provide insights genome to enhance breeding strategies improve crops. However, onion's large size means that studies of molecular markers are limited in onion. This study aimed discover high quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 192 inbred lines relating short-day cultivation Korea. Paired-end (PE) double digested restriction...
Lily belongs to family liliaceae, which mainly propagates vegetatively. Therefore, sufficient number of polymorphic, informative, and functional molecular markers are essential for studying a wide range genetic parameters in Lilium species. We attempted develop, characterize design SSR (simple sequence repeat) using online resources analyzing diversity population structure found di-nucleotide repeat motif were more frequent (4684) within 0.14 gb (giga bases) transcriptome than other repeats,...
Trait tagging through molecular markers is an important breeding tool for crop improvement. SSR encoded by functionally relevant parts of a genome are well suited this task because they may be directly related to traits. However, limited number these known Musa spp. Here, we report 35136 novel (FRSMs). Among these, 17,561, 15,373 and 16,286 FRSMs were mapped in-silico the genomes acuminata, M. balbisiana schizocarpa, respectively. A set 273 was validated using eight accessions spp., from...
