Identification of SNPs and InDels associated with berry size in table grapes integrating genetic and transcriptomic approaches

Berry size is considered as one of the main selection criteria in table grapes breeding programs, due to the consumer preferences. However, berry size is a complex quantitive trait under polygenic control, and its genetic determination of berry …

RNA-Seq analysis and transcriptome assembly of raspberry fruit (Rubus idaeus ¨Heritage¨) revealed several candidate genes involved in fruit development and ripening

Using Illumina HiSeq ™ 2000 sequencing platform (100 bp double-end reads), we performed transcriptome analysis of flower (F), green (G) and pink (P) fruit stages of red raspberry. Transcriptome was obtained by the de-novo assembly of 298 Million …

The genome sequence of the soft-rot fungus Penicillium purpurogenum reveals a high gene dosage for lignocellulolytic enzymes

The high lignocellulolytic activity displayed by the soft-rot fungus Penicillium purpurogenum has made it a target for the study of novel lignocellulolytic enzymes. We have obtained a reference genome of 36.2 Mb of non-redundant sequence (11,057 …

Transcriptome profiling of grapevine seedless segregants during berry development reveals candidate genes associated with berry weight

Berry size is considered as one of the main selection criteria in table grape breeding programs. However, this is a quantitative and polygenic trait, and its genetic determination is still poorly understood. Considering its economic importance, it is …

Transcriptome sequencing of Prunus sp. rootstocks roots to identify candidate genes involved in the response to root hypoxia

Root hypoxia in fruit trees affects growth, vegetative development, and reproductive development, which is reflected in low productivity, poor fruit quality, and premature decay of trees. Using Illumina Hiseq2000, we performed transcriptome analysis …
