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.

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.
Project description:The fruits color is one of the most important appearance qualities of citrus fruits. To illuminate the potential regulation of the color formation process of citrus fruits, the present study compared the different genes expression pattern between a spontaneous stay-green mutant and its wild type.
Project description:An antifungal aroma substance, 2-phenylethanol (PEA), was isolated from antagonistic yeast strain Kloeckera apiculata extract. Microarry were used to analyse its role citrus. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying Citrus were treated with 1.0x108 cells/ml K. apiculata (KA), PEA (0.15%), the extract (1000xdilute) and control (CK) for 24 h,
Project description:Low temperature storage of citrus fruits are susceptible to chilling disorder symptoms that impact fruit quality. Understanding the molecular frame underlying the cold storage process will provide a basic guidance for practical control. We used Affymetrix Citrus GeneChip to examine the transcriptional changes in cold-stored Citrus reticulata Blanco cv. ‘Ponkan’ pulp tissue for three successive months.

To analyse its role in Citrus response,Citrus were treated with K. apiculata , 2-phenylethano (0.15%), the extract (1000xdilute) and control (CK) for 24 h, respectively. The fresh epicarp of citrus was separated by knife and directly frozen in liquid nitrogen for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Understanding the molecular frame underlying the cold storage process will provide a basic guidance for practical control. We used Affymetrix Citrus GeneChip to examine the transcriptional changes in cold-stored Citrus reticulata Blanco cv. âPonkanâ pulp tissue for three successive months. Ponkan postharvest fruits were under cold storage for three successive months. The pulp tissue was used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix Citrus Genome microarrays.
Project description:Leaf senescence is an essential developmental process that involves altered regulation of thousands of genes and changes in many metabolic and signaling pathways resulting in massive physiological and structural changes in the leaf. The regulation of senescence is complex and although several senescence regulatory genes have been identified and characterized there is little information on how these individual regulators function globally in the control of the process. In this paper we use microarray analysis to obtain a high-resolution time course profile of gene expression during development of a single leaf over a three week period from just before full expansion to senescence. The multiple time points enable the use of highly informative clustering tools to reveal distinct time points at which signaling and metabolic pathways change during senescence. Analysis of motif enrichment in co-regulated gene clusters identifies clear groups of transcription factors active at different stages of leaf development and senescence.
