Project description:A comparative time-course transcriptome analysis of corm development revealed different patterns of gene expression between cultivated and wild Eleocharis dulcis accessions with the highest number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at the middle swelling stage and some of the DEGs were significantly enriched for starch metabolic process.
Project description:We analysed the DNA methylation and transcription levels of transposable elements and genes in leaves of Prunus persica and Prunus dulcis and in their F1 hybrid using high-throughput sequencing tecnhologies. We can conclude that the merging of the two parental genomes in the P. persica x P. dulcis hybrid does not result in a “genomic shock” with significant changes in the DNA methylation or in the transcription.
