The uptake and accumulation of nanoplastics by plants have raised particular concerns. However, molecular mechanisms underlying nanoplastic phytotoxicity are still vague and insufficient. Thus, its potential environmental risks and biosafety are receiving increased attention. In this study, cucum...

We compared organ specific chloroplast gene expression in cucumber between fully developed leaves (12th counting from the bottom of plant) and growing tips, female flowers, young leaves, young fruits (3-5 cm long). We have also characterized chloroplast gene transcription in cucumber etiolated seedl...
ORGANISM(S): Cucumis sativus 

Desalination brine discharge poses emerging threats to benthic marine organisms through combined salinity stress and metal contamination. This study investigated the individual and combined effects of salinity (35 ppt) and metal exposure (Cu, Fe, and Cd) on the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus...

Trichomes are the hair-like structures that are widely present on the surface of aerial organs and function in plant defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. Previous studies focus on the single cell trichomes in Arabidopsis and cotton, or multicellular glandular trichomes in tomato, but the dev...

We constructed two independent small RNA libraries from leaves of mock and Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) infected tomatoes, respectively, and sequenced with a high-throughput Illumina Solexa system. Based on sequence analysis and hairpin structure prediction, a total of 50 known miRNAs (32 families) a...

The timing of flower opening is essential for pollination and thus seed production. Despite flower opening has been a long lasting topic for plant biologists, the underling molecular mechansim remains elusive. Here we used a unique cucumber line ‘6457’ that spontaneously produces super ovary wit...
ORGANISM(S): Cucumis sativus 
Nitrogen is the most important mineral nutrient of plant. As a worldwide and economically important vegetable, cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) has a strong nitrogen-dependence. We took whole transcriptome sequencing approach to compare the gene expression profiles of cucumber leaves and roots grown un...
ORGANISM(S): Cucumis sativus 
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) fruit is a type of fleshy fruit that is harvested immaturely. Early fruit development directly determines the final fruit length and diameter, and consequently the fruit yield and quality. Different cucumber varieties display huge variations of fruit length, but how fr...

Here we performed a transcriptomic study on the effect of sodium nitroprusside (SNP) on cucumber leaves under alkali stress using Solexa/Illumina's high-throughput digital gene expression (DGE) system. Two DGE libraries (from one NaHCO3-treated sample and one NaHCO3 + SNP-treated sample) were constr...

We report that CMV2b exist in a complex of sRNAs in arabidopsis, with significant preference to repeat-associated AGO4-related 24nt siRNAs. This differential selection of siRNAs in vivo helps CMV 2b to perturb host epigenetic defense in the form of transposons activation and severeal repeat associat...
