Fruit length is a prominent agricultural trait during cucumber (Cucumis sativus) domestication and diversifying selection; however, the regulatory mechanisms of fruit elongation remain elusive. We identified two alleles FRUITFULL (FUL)–like MADS-box gene CsFUL1 with 3393C/A Single Nucleotide Polymorphism variation among 150 lines. Whereas CsFUL1A was specifically enriched in long-fruited East Asian type cucumbers (China Japan), CsFUL1C allele randomly distributed populations, including wild...

Fruit shape and size are important appearance yield traits in cucumber, but the underlying genes their regulatory mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we identified a mutant with spherical fruits from an Ethyl Methane Sulfonate (EMS)-mutagenized library, named qiu mutant. Compared cylindrical fruit 32X (wild type), was round due to reduced length increased diameter. MutMap analysis narrowed candidate gene 6.47 MB range on Chr2, harboring FS2.1 locus reported previously. A...

Abstract Background Atractylodes chinensis (DC) Koidz., a dicotyledonous and hypogeal germination species, is an important medicinal plant because its rhizome enriched in sesquiterpenes. The development production of A. are negatively affected by drought stress, especially at the seedling stage. Understanding molecular mechanism stress response plays role ensuring quality. In this study, seedlings were subjected to treatment for 0 (control), 3 (D3), 9 days (D9). For control, sample was...

Abstract Flower opening is essential for pollination and thus successful sexual reproduction; however, the underlying mechanisms of its timing control remain largely elusive. We identify a unique cucumber (Cucumis sativus) line ‘6457’ that produces normal ovaries when nutrients are under-supplied, super (87%) with delayed corolla oversupplied. Corolla in both divided into four distinct phases, namely green bud, green-yellow yellow flowering stages, along progressive color transition,...

Abstract Background Atractylodes chinensis (DC.) Koidz is a well-known medicinal plant containing the major bioactive compound, atractylodin, sesquiterpenoid. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis demonstrated that atractylodin was most abundant in 3-year old A. rhizome, compared with those from 1- and 2-year rhizomes, however, molecular mechanisms underlying accumulation of rhizomes are poorly understood. Results In this study, we characterized transcriptomes 1-, 2- (Y1, Y2...

Abstract Complete disruption of critical genes is generally accompanied by severe growth and developmental defects, which dramatically hinder its utilization in crop breeding. Identifying subtle changes, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that specifically modulate a favorable trait prerequisite to fulfill breeding potential. Here, we found 2 SNPs the E-class floral organ identity gene cucumber (Cucumis sativus) SEPALLATA2 (CsSEP2) regulate fruit length. Haplotype (HAP) 1...

Downy mildew is a serious disease in cucumber production worldwide, which caused by Pseudoperonospora cubensis (Berk. & Curt.) Rostov. Underlying the mechanism of response to downy infection important for breeding improvement and production; however, research remains largely elusive. A comparative proteomic approach was used reveal differential accumulation proteomes from leaves (susceptible line resistant line) that were inoculated with P. or not two-dimensional electrophoresis...

Polyploidy induction is expected to increase its breeding potential. Cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. (2n=2x=14), one of important vegetable worldwide. The objective this work was develop autotetraploids three ecotypes cucumber through colchicine and reveal their phenotypic characterization. Autotetraploid plants were produced by using the treatment method shoot apexes seedlings with different concentrations (0, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%) treated times (3, 5 7 applications). 0.2% for or 0.3% proved be...

Corolla opening is essential for the propagation of unisexual flowering plants, meanwhile commodity fruits with corolla have higher value in cucumber fresh food market. Until now, there little research on mechanism cucumber. In a previous paper, we identified unique (Cucumis sativus) line ('6457') that possesses super ovaries and shows delayed when nutrient supplies are abundant. We also previously showed expression CsIPT1b (isopentenyl transferase) CsUGT85A2 (cytokinin glycosyltransferase)...

Salvia miltiorrhiza is an important medicinal plant for its special pharmacological activity in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The objective of this work was to develop S. autotetraploid through colchicine reveal their agronomic traits. For polyploidy induction miltiorrhiza, seedlings at the shoot apexes stage were treated with various concentrations [0, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3% (w/v)] three times (3, 5, 7 applications). Putative selected by morphological stomatal characteristics,...

'Corollas and spines' is an important trait for fresh market cucumber. In a unique cucumber line, '6457', the super ovary much larger corolla opening delayed by 4-5 days, thus resulting fruit has flower that remains on tip, which high commodity value. this study, to better understand molecular basis of opening, mRNA miRNA transcriptome analyses were performed during development normal ovaries. A total 234 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) 291 target genes (DE-target genes) identified...

Abstract A corolla opening is a necessary process affecting the quality of fruits and market competitiveness in cucumber ( Cucumis sativus ). In previous paper, we identified unique line (‘6457’) that possesses extra-long ovaries shows delayed when nutrient supplies are abundant. We also previously showed expression CsCLE3 Csa4G627800 ) correlated with female corolla. Here, investigated function by conducting transgenic experiments phenotypic analysis. The results ovary was significantly...

Abstract Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a subset of endogenous small non-coding ~21 nucleotide RNAs, which playing important roles in development, abiotic stress, and pathogen responses. Downy mildew, caused by Hyaloperonospora parasitica , is severe fungal disease non-heading Chinese cabbage ( Brassica rapa ssp. chinensis ). However, miRNAs their targets involved the response to downy mildew were still unclear. Results Here, fifteen RNA libraries generated from leaves at different time...
