De novo comparative transcriptome analysis of genes involved in fruit morphology of pumpkin cultivars with extreme size difference and development of EST-SSR markers
© 2017 The genetic basis of fruit size and shape was investigated for the first time in Cucurbita species and genetic loci associated with fruit morphology have been identified. Although extensive genomic resources are available at present for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), cucumber (Cucumis sativus...

Differential Gene Expression (DGE) analysis between cv. ‘Munchkin’ (small-fruit) and cv. ‘Big Moose’ (large-fruit) revealed a variety of candidate genes associated with fruit morphology with significant differences in gene expression between the two cultivars.

The results of the present study will contribute to both further understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating fruit morphology and furthermore identifying the factors that determine fruit size. Moreover, they may lead to the development of molecular marker tools for selecting genotypes with desired morphological traits. 2018-04-25T06:53:51Z 2018-04-25T06:53:51Z 2017-07-30 Journal 18790038 03781119 2-s2.0-85019647182 10.1016/j.gene.2017.04.035 https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?partnerID=HzOxMe3b&scp=85019647182&origin=inward http://cmuir.cmu.ac.th/jspui/handle/6653943832/46366 |
