Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a family of small endogenous, non-coding RNAs that play critical regulatory roles in plant growth, development, and environmental stress responses. Although Hami melon is an attractive model for valuable biological traits analysis, the role of miRNA action in the fruit development and ripening remains largely unknown. Here, we performed small RNA sequencing to investigate the Hami melon miRNA profiles at four fruit developmental stages Results: Small RNA sequencing yielded raw reads in eight libraries. miRNAs expression profiles were variable at different fruit developmental stages. The expression levels of five known miRNAs were validated by quantitative real-time PCR. Among the identified miRNAs, several miRNAs showed developmentally regulated and differentially expressed pattern during fruit development. Conclusions: Our results present a first comprehensive set of identification and characterization of Hami melon fruit miRNAs and their potential targets, which provide valuable basis for further research on the critical role of miRNAs in melon fruit development.

Project description:Purpose: Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is an economically important vegetable crop worldwide, and cucumber fruit spine density has an important impact on the commercial value. However, little is known about the regulatory mechanism for the fruit spine formation.In this study, the transcriptome analyses of ovaries and pericarps from numerous-spine parent and few-spine parent were conducted to identify the gene regulatory networks involved in the formation and development of numerous fruit spines in cucumber. Methods: Cucumber mRNA profiles of ovaries and pericarps from numerous-spine parent and few-spine parent were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq 4000. Then, clean data (clean reads) were obtained by removing reads containing adapters, reads containing poly-N sequences and low-quality reads from the raw data. Simultaneously, the Q20, Q30 and GC contents of the clean data were calculated. All of the downstream analyses were based on the high-quality clean data. Clean paired-end reads were mapped to the reference genome using TopHat v2.0.12 (Trapnell et al. 2012). Then, the FPKM (fragments per kilobase of transcript sequence per million base pairs sequenced) value of each gene was calculated to estimate gene expression levels (Trapnell et al. 2010). Genes with an adjusted P-value < 0.05 identified by DESeq were assigned as differentially expressed genes(DEGs). Results: We generated 42.96-57.53 million raw reads from each library, and 39.85-54.02 million clean reads were obtained after the removal of low-quality reads and adapter sequences. Among the clean reads, 79.03-80.94% were mapped to the gene database . Based on the KEGG database, pathway enrichment analysis was performed to identify significantly enriched metabolic pathways or signal transduction pathways in DEGs. Plant hormone signal transduction was significantly enriched in up-regulated genes in both F_6DBF compared with M_6DBF and F_0DAA compared with M_0DAA. Conclusions: Based on the transcriptome analysis, we excavated possible biological regulatory networks involved in the formation and development of numerous fruit spines in cucumber. This work will promote the exploration of molecular mechanisms that regulate cucumber fruit spine density.
