Transcriptomic analysis provides an insight into the function of CmGH9B3, a key gene of β-1, 4-glucanase, during the graft union healing of oriental melon scion grafted onto squash rootstock
Biotechnol J. 2024 Apr;19(4):e2400006. doi: 10.1002/biot.202400006.ABSTRACTThe melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a globally cherished and economically significant crop. The grafting technique has been widely used in the vegetative propagation of melon to promote environmental tolerance and disease resistance. However, mechanisms governing graft healing and potential incompatibilities in melons following the grafting process remain unknown. To uncover the molecular mechanism of healing of grafted melon seedlings, melon wild type (Control) and TRV-CmGH9B3 lines were obtained and grafted onto the squash rootstocks (C. moschata). Ana...

Belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) create facial displays during social interactions by changing the shape of their melons
This study of belugas in professionally managed care aimed to establish an ethogram for the repertoire of categorizable melon shapes and then evaluate their potential function as intentional communication signals by determining if they were produced and elaborated during social interactions of varying behavioral contexts while in the line of sight of a recipient. Five different melon shapes were reliably identified in video observations of the primary study population (n = 4) and externally validated in a second aquarium population (n = 51). Among the 2570 melon shapes observed from the primary study subjects, melon shapes...

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 149: Time-Series Transcriptome of Cucumis melo Reveals Extensive Transcriptomic Differences with Different Maturity
ng Cheng Wang As the most important melon cultivar grown in the north-western provinces of China, Hami melon (Cucumis melo) produces large edible fruits that serve as an important dietary component in the world. In general, as a climacteric plant, melon harvested at 60% maturity results in a product with bad quality, while the highest-quality product can be guaranteed when harvesting at 90% maturity. In order to clarify the genetic basis of their distinct profiles of metabolite accumulation, we performed systematic transcriptome analyses between 60% and 90% maturity melons. A total of 36 samples were sequenced and ov...

Genes, Vol. 14, Pages 1432: Optimised Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation and Application of Developmental Regulators Improve Regeneration Efficiency in Melons
g Sun Tang Mi Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a protected crop in China with high economic value. Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation is a powerful tool to improve agronomic traits and obtain elite germplasm. However, current transformation protocols in melons are inefficient and highly genotype-dependent. To improve transformation in melon, we tested different infiltration methods for Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Among these methods, micro-brushing and sonication for 20 s, followed by vacuum infiltration at &amp;minus;1.0 kPa for 90 s, resulted in the strongest green fluorescent protein signal and...
