ABSTRACT: Using a custom microarray platform, we examined expression of 366 genes in leaf, two peel tissues, juice sac, and whole fruit during various developmental stages of Washington Navel orange fruit (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck). 366 genes were chosen from Citrus EST libraries by in-silico analysis method. Keywords: time course and tissue comparison
Project description:Using a custom microarray platform, we examined expression of 366 genes in leaf, two peel tissues, juice sac, and whole fruit during various developmental stages of Washington Navel orange fruit (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck). 366 genes were chosen from Citrus EST libraries by in-silico analysis method. Keywords: time course and tissue comparison Study to compare gene expression between peel layers and over time as fruit matured. Samples taken from leaf tissue, whole fruit at 24 and 38 days after full bloom (DAFB), and from albedo and flavedo layers of the peel at 80 and 165 DAFB, and flavedo from mature fruit at 220 DAFB. In all cases except one, there were three technical replicates hybridized for each Sample simultaneously.
Project description:To identify genes associated with citrus peel development and manifestation of peel disorders, we analyzed flavedo, albedo and juice sac tissues from five types of citrus fruit including, mandarin orange, navel orange, valencia orange, grapefruit and lemon.
Project description:To identify genes associated with citrus peel development and manifestation of peel disorders, we analyzed flavedo, albedo and juice sac tissues from five types of citrus fruit including, mandarin orange, navel orange, valencia orange, grapefruit and lemon. Fruits of five different citrus cultivars. Mature, healthy fruits of five different citrus cultivars (M-bM-^@M-^\ValenciaM-bM-^@M-^] and M-bM-^@M-^\NavelM-bM-^@M-^] orange [Citrus sinensis], mandarin [Citrus reticulata], lemon [Citrus M-CM-^W limon], grapefruit [Citrus M-CM-^W paradisi]) were purchased from a food market located in Davis, CA, USA. For all five types of fruit, three tissues (flavedo, albedo, and juice sacs) were compared separately. Each of the three tissues from each of the five types of fruit were sampled in three biological replicates, for a total of 45 samples. Samples were prepared from a 1 cm-thick equatorial disc and four sections (N, S, E, and W) were cut. Each section of flavedo, albedo, and juice sac tissue was dissected. gene expression variation underlying quality trait, different genotypes
Project description:The dataset for this project was to identify significantly changing proteins in the vasculature of Washington Navel (Citrus sinensis (L) Osbeck) during Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas) infection. The navel trees were graft-inoculated with the Hacienda Heights, CA CLas strain (HHCA) and then sampled ten months after graft inoculation.

Project description:The postharvest senescence processes of citrus fruits were analyzed transcriptomic. The present study was aimed to: further uncover the rind-flesh communication of hesperidium; characterize the differential storage behaviors of different citrus varieties; reveal the important changes during storing process; and demonstrate the specific non-climacteric characteristics of citrus fruits. We chose four major table fruit varieties of citrus: satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc) (M), ponkan (Citrus reticulata Blanco) (K), newhall navel orange (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) (O) and shatian pummelo (Citrus grandis Osbeck) (P). They were sampled every 10 days during 50 DAH (days after harvest), almost covering the commercial storage period of loose-skin citrus.
Project description:To identify genes associated with citrus peel development and manifestation of peel disorders, we analyzed flavedo, albedo and juice sac tissues from navel orange displaying, and not displaying, the puff disorder.
Project description:To identify genes associated with citrus peel development and manifestation of peel disorders, we analyzed flavedo, albedo and juice sac tissues from navel orange displaying, and not displaying, the puff disorder. Symptomatic and healthy M-bM-^@M-^\NavelM-bM-^@M-^] orange fruits were harvested from an orchard located in in Pauma Valley, San Diego County, California, USA. Sampling for all analysis (healthy or disordered Navel orange) was performed at the same time, from trees grown under the same agronomic, soil, and environmental conditions. Healthy and disordered fruits were analyzed at the mature stage. All transcriptome analysis was performed on mature fruit. For each type of fruit, three tissues (flavedo, albedo, and juice sacs) from three different trees (biological replicates) were separately analyzed. Four symptomatic fruits comprised one biological replicate each. Two healthy fruits comprised two biological replicates of control samples. A 1 cm-thick equatorial disc and four sections (N, S, E, and W) were cut per fruit. Each section of flavedo, albedo, and juice sac tissue was dissected. gene expression variation underlying quality trait, different genotypes
Project description:Pathogens can trigger a broad array of changes in gene expression in plants. In this study we report the changes in gene expression patterns that occurred when greenhouse grown Washington Navel oranges (C. sinensis) was graft innoculated with citrus pathogens. Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, Spiroplasma citri, and two isolates of citrus tristeza virus were studied.
Project description:In this data set, we reported for the first time that huanglongbing disease (HLB) induces major changes in the expression of global genes in flavedo, vascular and juice vesicle tissues of citrus fruit. 68 Total samples were analyzed. cDNA generation, array analysis, and statistical tests were performed as a service at the Interdisciplinary Center for Biotechnology Research (ICBR) Microarray Core facility at the University of Florida (Gainesville, FL). The linear models were used for array analysis (Smyth GK et al. Bioinformatics, 2005, 2067-2075). The linear models were firstly used to assess differential expression, and then an empirical Bayes method was used to moderate the standard errors. 13 comparisons were performed for the study. The comparisons in Citrus sinensis cv. Hamlin included: SC vs. CC (genes that respond to infection in symptomatic vascular core); SJV vs. CJV (genes that respond to infection in symptomatic juice vesicle); SS vs. CS (genes that respond to infection in symptomatic seed); SP vs. CP (genes that respond to infection in symptomatic peel). The comparisons in Citrus sinensis cv. Valencia included: SP vs. HP (genes that respond to infection in symptomatic peel); ASP vs. HP (genes that respond to infection in asymptomatic peel); SP vs. ASP (genes that respond to infection in symptomatic peel compared to asymptomatic peel); SC vs. HC (genes that respond to infection in symptomatic vascular core); ASC vs. HC (genes that respond to infection in asymptomatic vascular core); SC vs. ASC (genes that respond to infection in symptomatic vascular core compared to asymptomatic vascular core); SJV vs. HJV (genes that respond to infection in symptomatic juice vesicle); ASJV vs. HJV (genes that respond to infection in asymptomatic juice vesicle); SJV vs. ASJV (genes that respond to infection in symptomatic juice vesicle compared to asymptomatic juice vesicle). ESTs with significant expression changes (P value <0.001; false discovery rate <0.01 with equal or higher than 2-fold changes in expression) were selected for further analysis.
