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 ...
Mapping Cucumber Vein Yellowing Virus Resistance in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) by Using BSA-seq Analysis
(Frontiers Media, 2019-12-03)
Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) causes severe yield losses in cucurbit crops across Mediterranean countries. The control of this virus is based on cultural practices to prevent the presence of its ...
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 ...
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 ...
Transposons played a major role in the diversification between the closely related almond and peach genomes: Results from the almond genome sequence
(Wiley, 2019-09-16)
We sequenced the genome of the highly heterozygous almond Prunus dulcis cv. Texas combining short and long‐read sequencing. We obtained a genome assembly totaling 227.6 Mb of the estimated 238 Mb almond ...
Regulation of climacteric fruit ripening in melon: recent advances and future challenges
(Oxford University Press ;Society for Experimental Biology, 2023-07-03)
Fruit ripening is a complex and highly regulated process where tomato and strawberry have been the model species classically used for studying climacteric and non-climacteric fleshy fruit ripening types, ...
Generation of a BAC-based physical map of the melon genome
(BMC, 2010-05-28)
Background: Cucumis melo (melon) belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, whose economic importance among
horticulture crops is second only to Solanaceae. Melon has high intra-specific genetic variation, ...
Sequencing of 6.7 Mb of the melon genome using a BAC pooling strategy
(BMC, 2010-11-12)
Background: Cucumis melo (melon) belongs to the Cucurbitaceae family, whose economic importance among
horticulture crops is second only to Solanaceae. Melon has a high intra-specific genetic variation, ...
Genome-wide BAC-end sequencing of Cucumis melo using two BAC libraries
(BMC, 2010-11-05)
Background: Although melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an economically important fruit crop, no genome-wide
sequence information is openly available at the current time. We therefore sequenced BAC-ends ...
An oligo-based microarray offers novel transcriptomic approaches for the analysis of pathogen resistance and fruit quality traits in melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BMC, 2009-10-12)
Background: Melon (Cucumis melo) is a horticultural specie of significant nutritional value, which belongs to the
Cucurbitaceae family, whose economic importance is second only to the Solanaceae. Its ...
