Project description:Total RNA was isolated from different tissues (leaf, stem and flesh, rind and placenta of the fruits) using TRIzol reagent and small RNA libraries were generated from four cucurbit species: bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria (accession Grif 1617 collection from India)), Cucurbita moschata (accession Grif 14244 Early Butternut) Cucurbita pepo (accession NSL98075 Table King), and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus) (PI 438676 Charleston Grey) by pooling equimolar amounts of total RNA from the aforesaid tissues. Construction of small RNA libraries from size fractionated RNA was carried out as described previously. In brief, small RNA fractions of 18–28 nt were isolated from 15% denaturing polyacrylamide gels and sequentially ligated to 5′ and 3′ RNA adapters. Small RNAs ligated with adapters were converted to DNA by RT-PCR following Solexa protocol. The final PCR product was gel purified and sequenced by Genome Analyser II (Illumina).

Project description:Male sterility is important mechanism in watermelon for production of hybrid seed. While some fruit development related studies were widely performed in watermelon, there are no reports of profiling gene expression in floral organs of watermelon. RNA-seq analysis was performed in order to identify male sterility related genes from two different groups of watermelon (genetic male-sterile (GMS) DAH3615-MS line and male-fertile DAH3615 line, respectively) to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). This study employed tophat and edgeR for transcriptome analysis of next-generation RNA-seq data, which included 2 tissues obtained from 2 different breeds of watermelon
