Project description:We did whole-genome methylation sequencing for 21 Vaccinium samples. This project attempts to analyze the improvement breeding process of cultivated blueberry from two aspects of heredity and epigenetic inheritance.
Project description:Illumina HiSeq2000 technology was used to generate mRNA profiles from Vaccinium myrtillus mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal roots with or without Cadmium treatment. 150bp reads were generated and aligned to a Vaccinium myrtillus de novo assembly as reference using CLC Genomics Workbench 8.
Project description:Non coding RNA (ncRNA), such as miRNA, lncRNA and circRNA, has been found to play an important role in the mechanism of plant defense against pathogens. Lychee downy blingt is the main disease of litchi fruit, inflorescence and leaf, which seriously affects the yield of lychee. In this study, we carried out a P.litchii infection experiment on lychee fruits and leaves, and the mRNA and ncRNA in the treated fruits and leaves were analyzed by whole-transcriptome RNA sequencing technology. our work will Provide new insights for the resistance of lychee downy blight .
Project description:We have performed a transcriptome analysis of genes at three different ripening stages of the pink-white fruits and the ripe stage of the red fruits of Chinese bayberry. This analysis provided a total of 119,701 unigenes, of which 41.43% were annotated in the Nr database. Our results showed that the formation of the pink-white color in Chinese bayberry fruits depended on the anthocyanin metabolic pathway, regulated by MYB1. Downregulated expression of key anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway genes, such as UFGT, F3’H, and ANS at the late stage of fruits development compared with DK3 fruits resulted in the failure to form red fruits. Our findings shed light on the regulatory mechanisms and metabolic processes that control color development in the fruits of Chinese bayberry.
