Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that regulate targeted mRNAs by degrading or repressing translation, considered as post-transcrption regulators. So far, a large number of miRNAs have been discovered in model plants, but little information is available on miRNAs in banana. In this study, by sequencing the small RNA (sRNA) transcriptomes of Fusarium wilt resistant and susceptible banana varieties, 139 members in 38 miRNA families were discovered, and six out of eight new miRNAs were confirmed by RT-PCR. According to the analysis of sRNA transcriptome data and qRT-PCR verification, some miRNAs were differentially expressed between Fusarium wilt resistant and susceptible banana varieties. Two hundred and ninety-nine and 31 target genes were predicted based on the draft maps of banana B genome and Fusarium oxysporum (FOC1, FOC4) genomes respectively. Specifically, two important pathogenic genes in Fusarium oxysporum genomes, feruloyl esterase gene and proline iminopeptidase gene, were targeted by banana miRNAs. These novel findings may provide a new strategy for the prevention and control of Fusarium wilt in banana.

Project description:Passiflora mollissima commonly known as “banana passion fruit” is usually consumed as fresh food or processed products, being seeds and peel the main by-products of the industrial processing. The potentially bioactive metabolites from banana passion fruit PLE-extract seeds have been recently characterized by HPLC-HRMS after sequential pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) To apply a Foodomics approach to study the effects of a banana passion fruit seeds PLE-extract (with high antioxidant capacity and enriched in phenolic-type compounds) on the transcriptome and metabolome of HT-29 colon cancer cells.
