The application of the complementary DNA (cDNA)-amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) technique to clone transcripts differentially expressed during fruit development and ripening is reported. Using 34 different primer combinations, 265 cDNA-AFLP bands were found differentially expressed in six fruit developmental stages, with leaf and developing seed as controls. One hundred twenty-five b ...

Abstract:
... Microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs that play important regulatory roles by down-regulating target transcripts in a sequence-specific manner. The miRBase Registry (Release 8.2) lists 732 miRNAs from flowering plant species, with the majority identified from Arabidopsis, rice and poplar where genome sequence is available. In the absence of genomic sequence and on the basis th ...

We tested the hypothesis that this class of genes are also involved in regulating the development of fleshy fruits, by exploring genetic and phenotypic variation within the apple (Malus domestica) gene pool. We isolated and characterised the genomic sequences of two candidat ...

To assess the diversity of this protein family in coffee (Coffea spp.), data mining methods were used on a set of around 200,000 coffee expressed sequence tags. A total of 53 different putative WRKY genes were obtained, but only 22 unige ...

Abstract:
... Seedlessness is a highly desirable trait in fresh fruit. Citrus varieties, such as Clementine mandarin and other related species, show parthenocarpic fruit development without seeds due to self-incompatibility. In spite of that, these fruits frequently contain seeds as a result of cross-pollination by insects with compatible pollen from other citrus cultivars grown nearby. To solve this problem us ...

Abstract:
... The agronomic performance of fruit trees is significantly influenced by tree internal organization. Introducing architectural traits in breeding programs could thus lead to select new varieties with a regular bearing and lower input demand in order to reduce training and environmental costs. However, an interaction between tree ontogeny and genetic factors is expected. In this study, we investigat ...

Abstract:

To accurately measure gene expression using PCR-based approaches, there is the need for reference genes that have low variance in expression (housekeeping genes) to normalise the data for RNA quantity and quality. For non-model species such as Malus x domestica (apples), previously, the selection of reference genes relied on using homology to reference genes in model species. In this study, a geno ...

An extensive mining of the data confirmed that at least three SUT genes (CitSUT1, CitSUT2, and CitSUT3) were found in the databases of the three currently available citrus genomes. The exon and intron sizes varied among the three CitSUT genes, and the similarities among the genes were 40–50 %. The phylogen ...

Abstract:
... Pollination constant non-astringency (PCNA)-type persimmons are the most desirable cultivar because the fruit loses astringency naturally and does not require any treatments for edibility. The mechanism of natural astringency loss in Chinese PCNA (C-PCNA)-type persimmon is probably related to the coagulation of soluble tannins into insoluble tannins, which is quite different from that in the Japan ...
