Microarray analysis of differentially expressed genes engaged in fruit development between Prunus mume and Prunus armeniaca

ABSTRACT: Microarray analysis is a technique that can be employed to provide expression profiles of single genes and a new insight to elucidate the biological mechanisms responsible for fruit development. To evaluate expression of genes mostly engaged in fruit development between P. mume and P. armeniaca, we first identified differentially expressed transcripts along the entire fruit life cycle by using microarrays spotted with 10,641 ESTs collected from P. mume and other Prunus EST sequences. A total of 1,418 ESTs were selected after quality control of microarray spots and analyzed for differential gene expression patterns during fruit development of P. mume and P. armeniaca. Among them, 707 up-regulated and 711 down-regulated differentially expressed genes showing more than 2.0-fold differences
