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:Roughing disorder (RD) is a significant quality barrier in citrus fruit, occurring more easily on easy-peeling mandarins. As RD is not yet well understood, this study aimed to examine the changes and synergic molecular processes involved. Peel with RD was induced by severely defruiting Satsuma mandarin trees. Morphology observations, RNA-sequencing and untargeted and targeted metabolic analyses were conducted.
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 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.
