Consensus co-expression network analysis identifies AdZAT5 regulating pectin degradation in ripening kiwifruit.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cell wall degradation and remodeling is the key factor causing fruit softening during ripening.

Objectives

To explore the mechanism underlying postharvest cell wall metabolism, a transcriptome analysis method for more precious prediction on functional genes was needed.

Methods

Kiwifruits treated by ethylene (a conventional and effective phytohormone to accelerate climacteric fruit ripening and softening as kiwifruits) or air were taken as materials. Here, Consensus Coexpression Network Analysis (CCNA), a procedure evolved from Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) package in R, was applied and generated 85 consensus clusters from twelve transcriptome libraries. Advanced and comprehensive modifications were achieved by combination of CCNA an
