Project description:Twelve chili pepper accessions, six domesticated, four wild and two F1 crosses were studied. RNA-Seq experiments were performed with fruits from each accession at 7 different times after anthesis. Additionally, samples of seedlings from two accessions were evaluated. The data set is comprised by 179 samples, that in total have more than 3 billion reads map to the Capsicum annuum genome.
Project description:Two fruit development stages of the wild chiltepin pepper (Capsicum annuum var. glabriusculum) were studied. RNA-Seq data was obtained from fruits at 20 and 68 days after anthesis with two biological replicates for a total of 4 samples. 260 million raw reads were sequenced and over 80% of them mapped back to the Capsicum annuum genome.
Project description:Six different Solanaceae species, Potato (Solanum tuberosum), Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), Petunia and Nicotiana benthamiana were grown at 25C, 16h light and 8h darkness. Mature leaves were harvested after 4-6 weeks. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy. Tomato, pepper, petunia tobacco and N. benthamiana samples were hybridized against potato samples.

Project description:Capsicum spp. (hot peppers) demonstrate a range of interesting bioactive properties spanning anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities. While several species within the genus are known to produce antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), AMP sequence mining of genomic data indicates this space remains largely unexplored. Herein, in silico AMP predictions are paired with peptidomics to identify novel AMPs from the interspecific hybrid ghost pepper (Capsicum chinense x frutescens). AMP prediction algorithms reveal 115 putative AMPs within the Capsicum chinense genome of which 14 were identified in the aerial tissue peptidome. PepSAVI-MS, de novo sequencing, and complementary approaches were used to fully molecularly characterize two novel AMPs, CC-AMP1 and CC-AMP2, including elucidation of post-translational modifications and disulfide bond connectivity. Both CC-AMP1 and CC-AMP2 have little homology with known AMPs and exhibit low µM antimicrobial activity against gram-negative bacteria including Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. These findings demonstrate the complementary nature of peptidomics, bioactivity-guided discovery, and bioinformatics-based investigations to more fully characterize plant AMP profiles.
Project description:Six different Solanaceae species, Potato (Solanum tubersosum), Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum), Petunia and Nicotiana benthiamana were grown at 25C, 16h light and 8h darkness. Mature leaves were harvested after 4-6 weeks. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy. Tomato, pepper, petunia, tobacco and N. benthamiana samples were hybridized against potato samples.

Project description:Pepper(Capsicum annuum L.) fruit development is a complex and genetically programmed process, a comparative study of transcriptome and proteome changes during two varieties of pepper development(IMG, MG, Br and MR) has been carried out by using RNA-Seq and Lable-free quantitation technology.
Project description:The organization of chromatin into self-interacting domains is universal among eukaryotic genomes, though how and why they form varies considerably. Here we report a chromosome-scale reference genome assembly of pepper (Capsicum annuum) and explore its 3D organization through integrating high-resolution Hi-C maps with epigenomic, transcriptomic, and genetic variation data. Chromatin folding domains in pepper are as prominent as TADs in mammals but exhibit unique characteristics. They tend to coincide with heterochromatic regions enriched with retrotransposons and are frequently embedded in loops, which may correlate with transcription factories. Their boundaries are hotspots for chromosome rearrangements but are otherwise depleted for genetic variation. While chromatin conformation broadly affects transcription variance, it does not predict differential gene expression between tissues. Our results suggest that pepper genome organization is explained by a model of heterochromatin-driven folding promoted by transcription factories and that such spatial architecture is under structural and functional constraints.
Project description:To facilitate the functional annotation of the pepper genome, we generated 90.84 Gb of RNA-Seq data from 33 libraries representing all major tissue types and developmental stages of Zunla 1, as well as fruits from other accessions with significant phenotypic differences.
