Project description:A microarray and quantitative Real-Time PCR-based study was conducted in watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai var. lanatus] in order to elucidate the flow of events associated with fruit development and ripening in this species. RNA from three different maturation stages of watermelon fruit, as well as leaf, were collected from field grown plants during three consecutive years, and hybridized to high-density, photolithography microarrays. Keywords: developmental time course, gene expression This experiment contained a single biological replicate, two tissue types (leaf, fruit flesh), and three time points (12 days post-pollination, 24 days post-pollination, and 36 days post-pollination. One hundred and twenty-seven genes were chosen from this experiments and used in conjunction with quantitative-PCR to examine two additional biological replications of the experiment.

Project description:Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai) is an important cucurbit crop grown worldwide. Watermelon fruit quality, fertility, and the seed setting rate are closely related to male flower development. In this study, the different developmental stages of flower buds of the watermelon variety Xinteda Zhengkang 9 were distinguished by cytological observation, and transcriptome sequencing analysis was performed subsequently. Acetocarmine staining of anthers was performed and the longitudinal and transverse diameters of the unopened male flower buds were measured. Cytological observations of anthers at different developmental stages showed that the anther grew from the tetrad to the mature stage, and the longitudinal and transverse diameters of the flower buds increased. The length of the male flower buds also changed significantly during development. Transcriptome sequencing analysis at four periods, the tetrad (A group), mononuclear (B group), dikaryophase (C group), and mature stages (D group). Total 16288 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected in the four stages, with the prolongation of developmental stages the number of DEGs increased gradually in the comparison groups, such as there was 2014, 3259, 4628, 1490, 3495 and 1132 DEGs were revealed in six comparison groups (A-VS-B, A-VS-C, A-VS-D, B-VS-C, B-VS-D, and C-VS-D), respectively. Gene ontology (GO) and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the DEGs were mainly enriched in cellular component and starch and sucrose metabolism, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and pentose sugar, etc. Finally, we totally screened 59 DEGs were in the six comparison groups, and most of them were up-regulated, interestingly, we find one pollen-specific protein (Cla001608) was significantly up-regulated (the value of log2Fold Change up to 17.32), which indicating that it may play important role in the development of male flowers. This work provides insight into the molecular basis of the developmental stages of male flowers in watermelon and may aid in dominant cross breeding.

Project description:Here, we used RNA sequencing and tandem mass tag (TMT)–based quantitative proteomics technology to study the comprehensive mRNA and protein expression changes during fruit development and ripening in watermelon. A total of 6,226 proteins were quantified, and the number of quantitative proteins is the largest in fruit proteome to date, comparable to studies in model organisms such as rice and Arabidopsis. Omics analysis showed that smaller changes occurred in protein abundance compared to mRNA abundance. Furthermore, protein and transcript abundance were poorly correlated, and the correlation coefficients decreased during fruit development and ripening. Our comprehensive transcriptomic and proteomic data offer a valuable resource for watermelon research, and provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying complex regulatory networks of fruit ripening in watermelon.

Project description:Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is one of the most important vegetable crops in the world and accounts for 20% of the world’s total area devoted to vegetable production. Fusarium wilt of watermelon is one of the most destructive diseases in watermelon worldwide. Transcriptome profiling of watermelon during its incompatible interactions with Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum (FON) was generated using an Agilent custom microarray which contains 15,000 probes representing approximately 8,200 watermelon genes. A total of 24, 275, 596, 598, and 592 genes that are differentially expressed genes between FON- and mock-inoculated watermelon roots at 0.5, 1, 3, 5 and 8 days post inoculation (dpi), respectively, were identified. Bioinformatics analysis of these differentially expressed genes revealed that during the incompatible interaction between watermelon and FON, the expression of a number of pathogenesis-related (PR) genes, transcription factors, signaling/regulatory genes, and cell wall modification genes, was significantly induced. A number of genes for transporter proteins such as aquaporins were down-regulated, indicating that transporter proteins might contribute to the development of wilt symptoms after FON infection. In the incompatible interaction, most genes involved in biosynthesis of jasmonic acid (JA) showed expressed stronger and more sustained than those in compatible interaction in FON-infected tissues. Similarly, genes associated with shikimate-phenylpropanoid-lignin biosynthesis were also induced in incompatible interaction, but expression of these genes were not changed or repressed in the compatible interaction.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous small non-coding RNAs involved in the post-transcriptional gene regulation and play a critical role in plant growth, development and stress responses. Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus L.) is one of the important agricultural crops worldwide. Here we carried out computational and experimental analysis of miRNAs and phased small interfering RNAs (phasiRNAs) in watermelon by analyzing 14 small RNA profiles from roots, leaves, androecium, flowers, and fruits, and one published small RNA profile of mixed tissues. To identify the targets of miRNAs and phasiRNAs, we generated a degradome profile for watermelon leaf which is analyzed with the SeqTar algorithm. We identified 97 conserved pre-miRNAs, of which 58 have not been reported previously and 348 conserved mature miRNAs without precursors. We also found 9 novel pre-miRNAs encoding 18 mature miRNAs. One hundred and one 21 nucleotide (nt) PHAS loci, and two hundred and forty one 24 nt PHAS loci were also identified. We identified 120 conserved targets of the conserved miRNAs and TAS3-derived tasiRNAs by analyzing a degradome profile of watermelon leaf. The presented results provide a comprehensive view of small regulatory RNAs and their targets in watermelon.

Three independent experiments were performed.

Project description:Total RNA was isolated from different tissues (leaf, stem and flesh, rind and placenta of the fruits) using TRIzol reagent and small RNA libraries were generated from four cucurbit species: bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria (accession Grif 1617 collection from India)), Cucurbita moschata (accession Grif 14244 Early Butternut) Cucurbita pepo (accession NSL98075 Table King), and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus) (PI 438676 Charleston Grey) by pooling equimolar amounts of total RNA from the aforesaid tissues. Construction of small RNA libraries from size fractionated RNA was carried out as described previously. In brief, small RNA fractions of 18–28 nt were isolated from 15% denaturing polyacrylamide gels and sequentially ligated to 5′ and 3′ RNA adapters. Small RNAs ligated with adapters were converted to DNA by RT-PCR following Solexa protocol. The final PCR product was gel purified and sequenced by Genome Analyser II (Illumina).
