Identification and expression analysis of 11 MADS-box genes in peach (Prunus persica var. nectarina ‘Luxing’)

MADS-box genes play a central role in the development of flowers in plants. In this study, 11 PpMADSs were isolated from ‘Luxing’ peach, and the expression levels were detected in different tissues and fruit development. Eleven PpMADSs, designated as PpMADS13, 14, 18, 23, 24, 25, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 39 were isolated. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that PpMADS13, 14, and 18 belonged to SVP, AGL15, and MIKC* group respectively; PpMADS23, 24, 25, and 39 were in the Mα group; PpMADS32, 33, 34, and 35 belonged to the Mγ group. Predictions from subcellular localization showed that 10 PpMADS were located in the nucleus. RT-PCR revealed that PpMADS13 was expressed in stems, leaves, and during fruit development (70d); PpMADS14 was expressed in sepals, stamens, petals, and during flower development; PpMADS18 was expressed in roots, stems, leaves, sepals, ovaries, stamens, petals, and during flower and fruit development; all MADS-box genes (expect for PpMADS33) in the Mα and Mγ group were expressed in roots, stems, leaves, sepals, ovaries, stamens, petals, and during flower development; few genes were expressed during fruit development. These results indicated that PpMADS may play a crucial regulatory role in vegetative growth and development processes of flowers and fruits in peaches.     

不同品种桃果冷链物流特性差异性研究

为了探讨不同品种桃果冷链物流特性的差异化问题,从而为其贮运技术的优化提供参考依据,分别以采自山东省蒙阴县岱崮镇的‘仓方早生’、‘春美’、‘中油4号’和‘锦香’黄桃果实为试材,对不同品种桃果实在长途(山东蒙阴至新加坡)冷链物流期间的预冷特性、蓄冷特性、货架期及其品质的变化情况进行了观察,并对其果心温度在冷链物流期间的变化情况进行了全程跟踪检测。结果表明:在整个冷链物流期间,‘中油4号’和‘春美’的果心温度一直低于其余2个品种,说明其均有较好的预冷和蓄冷性能;在山东冷库温度设为0℃、预冷40 h的条件下,不同品种桃果果心温度方能降低至2.5~3.0℃,说明产区桃果贮运企业的冷库制冷能力还有待提高,或需配置专门的预冷设备和优化预冷技术;货架期第2天(到达目的地后),4个品种桃果果肉组织的硬度均在2 kg·cm-2以上;其中‘仓方早生’和‘锦香’果实中可溶性固形物的含量略高于10%,其余品种的均为8%~9%,说明产地采收果实的品质有待提高;不同品种对冷害的敏感性存在一定的差异性。文中综合分析认为:‘中油4号’的贮运品质较好,其预冷和蓄冷性能均佳,其果实外观和肉质均好,且汁液多,味较甜;而其他品种桃果运至目的地后均发生了不同程度的冷害现象。据此,文末提出了采取终端冷链措施以避免冷害发生的建议。

Quantitative trait loci for fruit size and flowering time-related traits under domestication and diversifying selection in cucumber (Cucumis sativus)

In cucumber, the genetic basis of traits under domestication and/or diversifying selection is not well understood. Here, we reported QTL mapping for flowering time and fruit size-related traits with segregating populations derived from a cultivated × wild cross. Phenotypic data of flowering time (FT), fruit size (FS), fruit number (FN) and fruit weight per plant (FW) were collected in multiple environments. QTL analysis identified 19 QTL for these traits. We found that the major-effect QTL FT1.1 played an important role in regulating flowering time in cultivated cucumber, whereas the minor-effect QTL FT6.3 contributed to photoperiod sensitive flowering time during domestication. Two novel consensus FS QTL, FS1.4 and FS2.3, seem to be the targets of selection during breeding for the US processing cucumber. All other FS QTL were co-localized with previously detected QTL using populations derived from cultivated cucumbers, suggesting that they were under selection during both initial domestication and subsequent improvement. Results from this study also suggested that the wild cucumber is a useful resource for capturing positive transgressive segregation and novel alleles that could be explored in cucumber breeding.
