RNAseq, transcriptome analysis and identification of DEGs involved in development and ripening of Fragaria chiloensis fruit.

ABSTRACT: Fragaria chiloensis (Chilean strawberry) is a native species that produces fruit with an exotic pinkish color and a fruity aroma. It has a non-climacteric pattern of fruit ripening, and it is the mother of the commercial Fragaria x ananassa. The ripening of F. chiloensis fruit seems stimulated by ABA, and a complete set of genes participate in its softening, color, and aroma development. In addition, a set of transcription factors regulate the entire process, but few of them have been described. Over the last two decades, RNA-seq was used to identify genes at three fruit development/ripening stages, named C2 (unripe, large green) to C4 (full ripe), in whole fruit and fruit without achenes. A total of 204,754 contigs were assembled considering all samples, obtain
