Project description:Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a commercially important fruit crop that is cultivated worldwide. The melon research community has recently benefited from the determination of a complete draft genome sequence and the development of associated genomic tools, which have allowed us to focus on small RNAs (sRNAs). These are short, non-coding RNAs 21â24 nucleotides in length with diverse physiological roles. In plants, they regulate gene expression and heterochromatin assembly, and control protection against virus infection. Much remains to be learned about the role of sRNAs in melon. We constructed 10 sRNA libraries from two stages of developing ovaries, fruits and photosynthetic cotyledons infected with viruses, and carried out high-throughput pyrosequencing. We catalogued and analyzed the melon sRNAs, resulting in the identification of 26 known miRNA families (many conserved with other species), the prediction of 84 melon-specific miRNA candidates, the identification of trans-acting siRNAs, and the identification of chloroplast, mitochondrion and transposon-derived sRNAs. In silico analysis revealed more than 400 potential targets for the conserved and novel miRNAs. This analysis provides insight into the composition and function of the melon small RNAome, and paves the way towards an understanding of sRNA-mediated processes that regulate melon fruit development and melonâvirus interactions. 11 small RNA libraries from several tissues of melon are included en the raw data. 2 samples from ovary, 2 samples from fruit, 1 sample from healthy cotyledons (Cultivar Tendral), 1 samples from healthy cotyledons (genotype TGR-1551), 1 sample from cotyledons (cultivar Tendral) infected with Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV), 1 sample from cotyledons (cultivar TGR-1551) infected with WMV, 1 sample from cotyledons (cultivar Tendral) infected with Melon necrotic spot virus (MNSV, Malfa5 isolate), 1 sample from cotyledons (cultivar Tendral) infected with MNSV (chimeric virus with Malfa5-264 isolates), 1 library from synthetic RNA oligos. Raw reads were obtained from two independent 454 runs, ~22,000 reads each one, to a total of 447,180 reads

Project description:Purpose: We conducted a reverse genetic approach in order to elucidate the role of H3K27me3 writers and erasers in the process of sex determination and expression in melon. Methods: We used TILLING to find loss-of function mutants of cmLHP1 proteins in melon. Selected alleles were phenotyped at the developmental and molecular levels. We generated the cmlhp1ab mutant, for which we observed a pleiotropic phenotype. For this double mutant, we integrated RNA-seq (leaves), ChIP-seq (leaves) and RT-PCR (flowers) for elucidating the impact of cmLHP1 loss of function at the molecular level. Results: cmlhp1ab displayed a pleiotropic phenotype which correlated with genome-wide changes of H3K27me3 (moore oftenly hypomethylation) and deregulation of genes involved in flower development and hormone responses.

Project description:RNA-Seq was conducted among sergeant bulks of four sex types of melon flowers, namely monoecious (AAGG), gynoecious (AAgg), hermaphrodite (aaGG), and andromonoecious (aagg), a total of about 105 million reads were generated from the melon transcriptome using Solexa sequencing.Totally 79,698 unigenes were generated and 75,537 unigenes were mapped to 11,805 annotated proteins in assembled melon genome (Garcia-Mas et al., 2012). Transcripts related to photomorphogenesis and flower development in plants were found, Most of the genes encoding plant hormone metabolism related protein, others related to flora development including Tasselseeds and male sterility genes which in phytohormones pathway were also detected. Comparison each two bulks (AAGG:AAgg, AAGG:aaGG, aagg:AAgg and aaGG:aagg ) exhibited different profiles of putative genes (include 745, 1342, 858 and 571 different expression genes, respectively). mRNA profiles of four sex types of melon flowers, namely monoecious (AAGG), gynoecious (AAgg), hermaphrodite (aaGG), and andromonoecious (aagg) were were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina Hiseq 2000.
