Project description:Transcriptional profiling of various apple (Malus x domestica Borkh) organ systems using probes complementary to both sense and anti-sense transcripts. Eight apple organs/samples. Biological replicates: 2 for each sample, independently grown and harvested.
Project description:The self-abscising characteristic of fruit is a prominent trait for labor-saving cultivation in apple (Malus × domestica). Up to 30 days after full bloom, early abscission leaves only central fruit in a cluster, while four lateral fruits are abscised. Since fruit abscission is possibly induced during earlier phases of fruit development, samples were collected at full bloom and 10 days after full bloom. Comparative analysis between central and lateral pedicels in self-abscising apple can be used to identify the genes that trigger the abscission mechanism, as the destinies of the pedicels in a cluster are obvious. Transcriptome analysis was performed using RNA-Seq to compare expression profiles between the surviving central pedicel to be survived and abscised lateral pedicel to be abscised from self-abscising apple. A total of 797,647 ESTs were assembled into 65,876 contigs which were annotated and analyzed with using Blast2GO. A total of 1,585 differentially expressed genes in central and lateral pedicels were identified using the NOISeq software. , and these genes were were characterized using the MapMan ontology software. Transcription factors involved in vascular bundle differentiation functioned in the central pedicel, while the signaling cascade of IAA14/SLR-ARF7, which progressed during lateral root emergence from primary roots, operated in lateral pedicels. Future studies should explore associations between the mechanisms of lateral root emergence and pedicel abscission during early phases of fruit development, as well as the interconnection among hormones.
Project description:Using whole genome bisulfite sequencing to provide single-base resulution of DNA methylation status in apple fruits ( Malus x domestica Borkh. ) in four different stages.
Project description:Granny Smith apples (Malus x domestica Borkh) were harvested at early physiological mature stage in 2014, 2015 and 2017 and phenotyped for scald incidence after long time cold storage. Differential analyses were set-up for peel samples collected at harvest between fruit batches with low or high scald incidence.
Project description:Granny Smith apples (Malus x domestica Borkh) grown in commercial orchards were harvested at physiological mature stage and maintained 6 months in cold storage with or without 1-MCP post-harvest treatment, and with or without enriched ozone atmosphere.
