Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the current state of knowledge of the genetics and genomics of the agriculturally important Cucurbitaceae plant family, which includes crops such as watermelon, melon, cucumber, summer and winter squashes, pumpkins, and gourds. Recent years have resulted in tremendous increases in our knowledge of these species due to large scale genomic and transcriptomic studies and production of draft genomes for the four major species, Citrullus lanatus, Cucumis melo, Cucumis sativus, and Cucurbita spp. This text examines genetic resources and structural and functional genomics for each species group and across species groups. In addition, it explores genomic-informed understanding and commonalities in cucurbit biology with respect to vegetative growth, floral development and sex expression, fruit growth and development, and important fruit quality traits.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cucumis hystrix (2n = 2x = 24) is the only known species in the genus Cucumis that is cross-compatible with cucumber (C. sativus, 2n = 2x = 14) and has potentials for cucumber improvement. To facilitate introgression of C. hystrix chromatins into cucumber genetic background, we developed a draft genome assembly for C. hystrix (TH1 accession) which contained 16,865 scaffolds (~78x coverage) for a total of 226.0 Mb, representing ~51% of the estimated 447 Mb C. hystrix genome. Through genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), a linkage map for C. hystrix was constructed with 1,692 SNP loci, which was then integrated with a previously developed genetic map with 410 SSR markers. The resulting consensus map consisted of 12 linkage groups spanning 1119 cM and anchor 1,321 scaffolds, accounting for 60.2 Mb or ~26.62% of C. hystrix draft genome assembly. A karyotype for the C. hystrix genome was developed with molecular cytogenetic landmarks which allowed for a better understanding of the syntenic relationships among C. hystrix, cucumber and melon (C. melo, 2n = 2x = 24) chromosomes as well as the mechanisms in which the seven cucumber chromosomes were evolved from an x=12 ancestor through dysploid chromosome reduction. C. hystrix introgression lines (IL) in elite cucumber backgrounds were developed through marker-assisted backcrossing. Overall, 334 ILs were identified by SSR markers to carry C. hystrix alleles. These ILs included different introgression segments that covered about 57.29% of C. hystrix map. With genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS), the introgressions in the 55 ILs included 44 syntenic blocks or about 74.57% coverage of C. hystrix genetic map. Each IL has an average 5.4 introgression segments, averaging 1.7 Mbp in size. Homoeologous recombination reduction was observed genome-wide but recombination hotspots in C. hystrix were also identified. Phenotypic characterization for resistance to angular leaf spot (ALS) and downy mildew (DM) pathogens was conducted in selected ILs. Both genotypic data and phenotypic data indicated that the intermediate resistance to ALS in nine ILs and the high resistance to DM in four ILs was of C. hystrix origin. These C. hystrix introgression lines, although time consuming in development, should be valuable resources for cucumber improvement.

The Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus is essential to understanding the cultural underpinnings of the insatiable market demands for sea cucumber and what drives sea cucumber trade. It also provides biological information and aquaculture techniques that can be adapted to other species, making it a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners involved in sea cucumber harvesting, aquaculture, and conservation. Explores the historical and current importance of Apostichopus japonicus in China, Japan, and the two Koreas Presents innovative production technologies in sea cucumber aquaculture Provides the latest scientific methods to maximize efficiency and production Includes important information on the design and operation of farms Discusses hot topics, current challenges, and future opportunities in aquaculture Highlights important advances in the study of sea cucumbers at the behavioral, cellular, and molecular levels
Download or read book Evaluation and Elucidation of the Genetic Bases of Maternally inherited Cold Tolerance and Parent of origin Effects in Cucumber Cucumis Sativus written by Madeline Worthington Olberg and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant breeders have long acknowledged parent-of-origin effects and their importance for parent selection, yet most of these effects remain uncharacterized and their basis remains unknown. In cucumber, the nuclear, mitochondrial, and chloroplast genomes are inherited biparentally, paternally, and maternally, respectively. Evaluation of reciprocal hybrids of double haploid (DH) cucumber lines offers a unique system for studying parent-of-origin effects associated with the organelles across identical nuclear backgrounds. Cucumber is a warm-season crop that is severely damaged by short periods of cold temperatures, and a maternally-inherited cold tolerance has been identified in the heirloom variety 'Chipper.' The first goal of this work was to characterize the phenotypic and genetic basis of cold tolerance conferred by 'Chipper' through evaluation of cold tolerant and susceptible reciprocal hybrids from crosses among DH lines. This work included cold recovery phenotyping in four different nuclear backgrounds, sequencing of the chloroplast genome and transcriptome to identify variants, as well as nuclear gene expression analysis and physiological assays to evaluate cold tolerance across two different nuclear backgrounds. The cold tolerance of 'Chipper' was associated with recovery from the cold treatments. A polymorphism in the chloroplast atpB gene conditioned an amino acid change that may be the genetic basis of the cold tolerance. Nuclear transcriptome analyses revealed no clearly shared differential gene expression between cold tolerant hybrids prior to cold treatment, consistent with the cold recovery phenotype and revealing the effect of nuclear background on expression of cold tolerance. The second goal of this work was to evaluate parent-of-origin effects on seed, cotyledon, and early growth in cucumber using a full diallel mating scheme using two DHs extracted from each of four populations. This work evaluated general combining abilities, specific combining abilities, and reciprocal effects across populations, DHs, and hybrid combinations. Transcriptome analyses of hybrids with significant reciprocal effects were performed and few common genes and processes were identified in mediating reciprocal effects on early growth phenotypes, consistent with significant specific combining abilities for these traits. These findings provide insights into specific parent-of-origin differences in cucumber and information useful for hybrid development. This work lays a foundation to warrant further investigation into the causative nature of the 'Chipper' chloroplast variant and beneficial reciprocal effects in cucumber.
