An improved assembly and annotation of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) reference genome
(Nature Research, 2018-05-24)
We report an improved assembly (v3.6.1) of the melon (Cucumis melo L.) genome and a new genome annotation (v4.0). The optical mapping approach allowed correcting the order and the orientation of 21 ...
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 ...
Genotyping by Sequencing in Almond: SNP Discovery, Linkage Mapping, and Marker Design
(Genetics Society of America, 2017-11-15)
In crop plant genetics, linkage maps provide the basis for the mapping of loci that affect important traits and for the selection of markers to be applied in crop improvement. In outcrossing species ...
Attention sports fans! The far-reaching contributions of bud sport mutants to horticulture and plant biology
(Springer Nature, 2018-07-15)
A bud sport is a lateral shoot, inflorescence or single flower/fruit with a visibly different phenotype from the rest of the plant. The new phenotype is often caused by a stable somatic mutation in a ...
Survey of over 4, 500 monumental olive trees preserved on-farm in the northeast Iberian Peninsula, their genotyping and characterization
(Elsevier, 2017-12-29)
Inventorying, characterising and conserving on-farm ancient olive trees is a priority for safeguarding their genetic, natural and agricultural value and for protecting ancient genotypes threatened with ...
Identification of a new allele of the Dw gene causing brachytic dwarfing in peach
(BioMed Central, 2018-06-14)
Objective
Peach brachytic dwarfism determined by Dwarf gene (Dw) is an undesired trait segregating in some peach breeding programs. Recently, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutation in the ...
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 ...
