Project description:Chinese Chestnut (Castanea mollissima BL.) has high nutritional and ecological value, so it is widely planted.However, the number of male flowers far exceeds the number of female flowers is an important factor limiting the yield of Chinese chestnut.A naturally occurring mutation in male catkin has been found on a Chinese chestnut tree in the mountains of Beijing, China.This mutant is shorter than the normal catkin.Studies have shown that this mutation can significantly reduce the number of male flowers, promote the differentiation of female flowers, and improve the yield of Chinese chestnut.In this research, we provided the RNA sequencing data of two groups of mutants and normal catkin.The comparative analyses of catkins transcriptomes presented here provides a valuable resource for discovery of genes and networks involved in the regulate the sex of the flower.
Project description:In this study, the Chinese chestnut ‘Huaihuang’ was used to explore the possible mechanisms of ovule abortion with respect to proteomics. The chestnut anthesis starts mid-June. The development of the burs of C. mollissima cv. ‘Huaihuang’ were monitored from 15 to 25 days after anthesis (DAA) And the burs for different times were collected from the Chestnut Experiment Station in Huairou District, Beijing, China. This experiment was conducted at the Beijing Protein Innovation Co., Ltd.

Project description:In order to reveal the candidate genes related to yellow plumage in Chinese chicken, a hybrid population of Huiyang Bearded chicken and White Leghorn chicken, and transcriptome data were generated from the yellow and white feather follicle of F3 population in two periods (7 and 11weeks) respectively, using RNA-seq. 127 common different expressed genes were obtained(DEGs) between two periods, these DEGs were mainly enriched in the Gene Ontology classes ‘developmental pigmentation’, ‘melanin biosynthetic process’, ‘melanosome organization’, ‘melanosome membrane’ and ‘melanosome’all related to the pigmentation process. And involved genes were considered as pigment genes that play important roles in melanogenesis. The results reveal key functional genes and possible molecular mechanisms for the elucidation of yellow plumage formation in Chinese indigenous chickens.
