Journal ArticleDOI

The draft genome of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and resequencing of 20 diverse accessions

TL;DR: A high-quality draft genome sequence of the east Asia watermelon cultivar 97103 containing 23,440 predicted protein-coding genes is reported, which yielded important insights into aspects of phloem-based vascular signaling in common between watermelon and cucumber and identified genes crucial to valuable fruit-quality traits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of transcriptome dynamics during watermelon fruit development: sequencing, assembly, annotation and gene expression profiles

TL;DR: A large collection of watermelon ESTs is generated, which represents a significant expansion of the current transcript catalog ofWatermelon and a valuable resource for future studies on the genomics of watermelons and other closely-related species.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Tonoplast Sugar Transporter Underlies a Sugar Accumulation QTL in Watermelon

TL;DR: The functional characterization of ClTST2 and its expression regulation by SUSIWM1 provide novel tools to increase sugar sink potency in watermelon and possibly in other vegetable and fruit crops.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-level expression of a novel chromoplast phosphate transporter ClPHT4;2 is required for flesh color development in watermelon.

TL;DR: It is suggested that elevated ClPHT4;2 gene expression is necessary for carotenoid accumulation, and may help to characterize the co-development of flesh color and sweetness during watermelon development and domestication.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary gain of oligosaccharide hydrolysis and sugar transport enhanced carbohydrate partitioning in sweet watermelon fruits.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors performed a genome-wide association study and identified the alkaline alpha-galactosidase ClAGA2 as the key factor controlling stachyose and Raf hydrolysis, and determined to be specifically expressed in the vascular bundle.
