Transcriptomic Analysis Reveals Key Candidate Genes Related to Seed Abortion in Chinese Jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Seed abortion is a common phenomenon in Chinese jujube that seriously hinders the process of cross-breeding. However, the molecular mechanisms of seed abortion remain unclear in jujube.

Methods

Here, we performed transcriptome sequencing using eight flower and fruit tissues at different developmental stages in Ziziphus jujuba Mill. 'Zhongqiusucui' to identify key genes related to seed abortion. Histological analysis revealed a critical developmental process of embryo abortion after fertilization.

Results

Comparisons of gene expression revealed a total of 14,012 differentially expressed genes. Functional enrichment analyses of differentially expressed genes between various sample types uncovered several important biological processes, such as embryo d
