Genome encode analyses reveal the basis of convergent evolution of fleshy fruit ripening
(Nature Research, 2018-09-24)
Fleshy fruits using ethylene to regulate ripening have developed multiple times in the history of angiosperms, presenting a clear case of convergent evolution whose molecular basis remains largely ...
Analysis of the melon (Cucumis melo) small RNAome by high-throughput pyrosequencing
(BMC, 2011-08-03)
Background: Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a commercially important fruit crop that is cultivated worldwide. The
melon research community has recently benefited from the determination of a complete draft ...
A consensus linkage map for molecular markers and Quantitative Trait Loci associated with economically important traits in melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BMC, 2011-07-28)
Background: A number of molecular marker linkage maps have been developed for melon (Cucumis melo L.) over
the last two decades. However, these maps were constructed using different marker sets, thus, ...
Syntenic relationships between cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and melon (C. melo L.) chromosomes as revealed by comparative genetic mapping
(BMC, 2011-08-05)
Background: Cucumber, Cucumis sativus L. (2n = 2 × = 14) and melon, C. melo L. (2n = 2 × = 24) are two
important vegetable species in the genus Cucumis (family Cucurbitaceae). Both species have an Asian ...
Determination of the melon chloroplast and mitochondrial genome sequences reveals that the largest reported mitochondrial genome in plants contains a significant amount of DNA having a nuclear origin
(BMC, 2011-08-20)
Background: The melon belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, whose economic importance among vegetable
crops is second only to Solanaceae. The melon has a small genome size (454 Mb), which makes it ...
