Project description:Sugar content is one of significant marks of fruit quality, and understanding the regulatory mechanism of sucrose accumulation is fundamental for breeding excellent melon fruit. As indicated by the co-expression network analysis, we distinguished a MYB transcription factor, CmMYB113, whose expression responds to oriental melon (‘HS’ (high-sucrose cultivar) and ‘LW’ (low-sucrose cultivar)) fruit ripening. Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation injection and stable genetic transformation system confirmed that CmMYB113 promoted the sucrose accumulation and ethylene synthesis by up-regulating the expression of CmACO1 and CmSPS1 in oriental melon fruit. What’s more, we also identified a MADS transcription factor from the transcriptome, CmMADS26, which is highly expressed during melon fruit ripening. Intriguingly, CmMADS26 could directly bind to the promoter of CmACO1 to promote its transcription, and CmMYB113 physically interacted with CmMADS26 in yeast and tobacco leaves. Our findings give new bits of knowledge into the regulatory mechanisms by which MYB and MADS transcription factors interact to regulate melon fruit ripening and sucrose accumulation.

Project description:Purpose: the goals of this study are to compare fruit of two clitivars oriental melon transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) at different stages to explore carotenoid potentail carotenoid accumulation mechanism Methods:The transcriptome sequence of two cultivars oriental melon fruits at different stages were generated by deep sequencing with three repeats using Illumina. The sequence reads that passed filters were mapped to melon genome (http://cucurbitgenomics.org/organism/18) using HISAT2 software. The differently expressed genes were identify by |log2(FoldChange)| > 0 & padj <= 0.05, and qRT–PCR validation was performed using SYBR Green assays Result:Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 40 million sequence reads per sample to the melon genome. The differentially expressed genes were functionally classified by GO and KEGG enrichment. We focused on carotenoid metabolism related gene and validated using qRT-PCR. The results showed RNA-seq and qRT-PCR were highly correlated. Conclusion: Our study provided transcriptome sequence of oriental melon fruits at different stages in two cultivars. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide comparative framework of expression profiles. Our transcriptome characterization contribute to analyze gene functions and metabolic process of oriental melon.

Project description:Transcripts libraries were prepared from three sugarcane genotypes with high-sugar (HS), medium-sugar (MS) or low-sugar (LS) content that were treated with ethylene or H2O. The libraries were sequenced with the Illumina paired-end HiSeq platform.Transcriptomic analyses have identified about 160,000 unigenes of which 86000 annotated genes were classified into functional groups associated with carbohydrate metabolism, signaling, localization, transport, hydrolysis, growth, catalytic activity, membrane and storage, suggesting the structural and functional specification, including sucrose accumulation, occurring in maturing internodes. About 25,000 genes were differentially expressed between all genotypes and treatments combined. Genotype had a dominant effect on differential gene expression than ethylene treatment. Sucrose and starch metabolism genes were more responsive to ethylene treatment in low-sugar genotype. Ethylene caused differential gene expression of many stress-related transcription factors, carbohydrate metabolism, hormone metabolism and epigenetic modification. Ethylene-induced expression of ethylene-responsive transcription factors, cytosolic acid- and cell wall-bound invertases, and ATPase was more pronounced in low- than in high-sugar genotype, suggesting an ethylene-stimulated sink activity and consequent increased sucrose accumulation in low-sugar genotype.

Project description:A complex interplay between ethylene, ETP1/ETP2 F-box proteins, and degradation of EIN2 is essential for triggering ethylene responses in plants. The gaseous plant hormone ethylene can trigger myriad physiological and morphological responses in plants. While many ethylene signaling pathway components have been identified and characterized, little is known about the function of the integral membrane protein EIN2, a central regulator of all ethylene responses. Here, we demonstrate that Arabidopsis thaliana EIN2 is a protein with a short half-life that undergoes rapid proteasome-mediated protein turnover. Moreover, EIN2 protein accumulation is positively regulated by ethylene. We identified two F-box proteins, EIN2 TARGETING PROTEIN and 2 (ETP1 and ETP2), that interact with the EIN2 carboxyl-terminal domain (CEND), which is highly conserved and sufficient to activate most ethylene responses. Overexpression of ETP1 or ETP2 disrupts EIN2 protein accumulation, and these plants manifest a strong ethylene insensitive phenotype. Furthermore, knocking down the levels of both ETP1 and ETP2 mRNAs using an artificial microRNA (amiRNA) leads to accumulation of EIN2 protein, resulting in plants that display constitutive ethylene response phenotypes. Finally, ethylene down-regulates ETP1 and ETP2 proteins, impairing their ability to interact with EIN2. Thus, these studies reveal that a complex interplay between ethylene, the regulation of ETP1/ETP2 F-box proteins, and subsequent targeting and degradation of EIN2 is essential for triggering ethylene responses in plants.

Project description:Melon is a globally commercialized fruit, and Fusarium rot disease poses a significant threat to post-harvest losses. The conventional use of fungicides raises concerns about chemical residues, prompting exploration into alternative technologies such as Pulsed Light (PL). While PL has been effective in controlling infections in various fruits and vegetables, the precise physiological responses and molecular mechanisms in melon fruits remain incompletely understood. In this study, melon fruits infected with the Fusarium pallidoroseum were treated with different doses of PL (0, 6, 9, and 12 J cm-2), and the impact on both fungal control and fruit shelf life extension was investigated. The 9 J cm-2 dose emerged as the most effective in controlling fungal growth without causing damage, inducing beneficial responses. This optimal PL dose upregulated genes in the lignan biosynthesis pathway and the infection upregulated genes involved with systemic acquired resistance, triggered by the pipecolic acid. In this way, the PL treatment and the infection trigger a double mechanism of resistance in melon fruits. A second and third experiment focused on evaluating the extension of melon fruit shelf life and the safe manipulation window post-PL treatment. The results revealed an average shelf life extension of six days and a safe manipulation period of 24 hours. The extension in shelf life was associated with a deviation in information flux from the ethylene biosynthesis to upregulation of the polyamine biosynthesis pathway, which produces nitric oxide, a product that can inhibit ethylene biosynthesis and its action. Furthermore, the observed 24-hour safety period against fungal infection post-PL treatment was characterized as a memory response resistance caused by the upregulation of lignan biosynthesis, which is a potential and efficient alternative to chemical products like fungicides. Overall, this study provides insights into the transcriptional molecular mechanisms through which PL promotes systemic acquired resistance and extends the shelf life of melon fruits.

Project description:Viruses are among the most destructive and difficult to control plant pathogens. Melon (Cucumismelo L.) has become the model species for the agriculturally important Cucurbitaceae family. Approaches that take advantage of recently developed genomic tools in melon are being extremely useful for understanding viral pathogenesis and can contribute to the identification of target genes to breed new resistant cultivars. In this work, we have used a recently described melon microarray for transcriptome profiling of two melon cultivars infected with two strains of Melon necrotic spot virus (MNSV) that only differ on their 3´-untranslated regions. Tissues of melon plants from cultivars Out of 7566 and 7074 genes deregulated by MNSV-Mα5 and MNSV-Mα5/3’264, 1851 and 1356, respectively, were strain-specific. Likewise, MNSV-Mα5/3’264 specifically deregulated 2925 and 1618 genes in Planters Jumbo and Tendral, respectively. Thus, significantly affected GO categories were clearly different for the different virus/host combinations. Grouping genes according to their patterns of expression allowed the identification of two groups specifically deregulated by MNSV-Mα5/3’264 with respect to MNSV-Mα5 in Tendral, and one group antagonistically regulated in Planters Jumbo vs. Tendral after MNSV-Mα5/3’264 infection. Genes in these three groups belong to a diversity of functional classes, and no obvious regulatory commonalities were identified. When data on MNSV-Mα5/Tendral infections were compared to equivalent data on cucumber mosaic virus or watermelon mosaic virus infections, cytokinin-O-glucosyltransferase2 was identified as the only gene deregulated by the three viruses, with infections dynamics correlating with the amplitude of transcriptome remodeling. Both common and strain-specific changes, as well as common but also cultivar-specific changes, have been identified by profiling transcriptomes of plants from two melon cultivars infected with two MNSV strains. No obvious regulatory features shared among deregulated genes have been identified, pointing toward regulation through differential functional implications.
