Journal ArticleDOI
The tomato pan-genome uncovers new genes and a rare allele regulating fruit flavor.
Lei Gao,Itay Gonda,Itay Gonda,Honghe Sun,Qiyue Ma,Kan Bao,Denise M. Tieman,Elizabeth A. Burzynski-Chang,Tara Fish,Kaitlin A. Stromberg,Gavin L. Sacks,Theodore W. Thannhauser,Majid R.

TL;DR: A tomato pan-genome constructed using genome sequences of 725 phylogenetically and geographically representative accessions captures 4,873 genes absent from the reference genome and identifies a rare allele of TomLoxC regulating fruit flavor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Branched-chain and aromatic amino acid catabolism into aroma volatiles in Cucumis melo L. fruit
Itay Gonda,Itay Gonda,Einat Bar,Vitaly Portnoy,Shery Lev,Joseph Burger,Arthur A. Schaffer,Yaakov Tadmor,Shimon Gepstein,James J. Giovannoni,Nurit Katzir,Efraim Lewinsohn +11 more
TL;DR: The results presented here indicate that in melon fruit tissues, the catabolism of amino acids into aroma volatiles can initiate through a transamination mechanism, rather than decarboxylation or direct aldehyde synthesis, as has been demonstrated in other plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
An alternative pathway contributes to phenylalanine biosynthesis in plants via a cytosolic tyrosine:phenylpyruvate aminotransferase
Heejin Yoo,Joshua R. Widhalm,Yichun Qian,Hiroshi A. Maeda,Hiroshi A. Maeda,Bruce R. Cooper,Amber Jannasch,Itay Gonda,Efraim Lewinsohn,David Rhodes,Natalia Dudareva +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that plants also utilize a microbial-like phenylpyruvate pathway to produce phenylalanine, and flux through this route is increased when the entry point to the arogenate pathway is limiting, uncovering another level of complexity in the plant aromatic amino acid regulatory network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deciphering genetic factors that determine melon fruit-quality traits using RNA-Seq-based high-resolution QTL and eQTL mapping.

Schaffer,Efraim Lewinsohn,James J. Giovannoni,James J. Giovannoni,Nurit Katzir +36 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of quantitative trait loci and expression-QTL mapping analysis was performed to identify genetic factors affecting melon (Cucumis melo) fruit quality, by linking genotypic, metabolic and transcriptomic data from a melon recombinant inbred line (RIL) population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catabolism of L-methionine in the formation of sulfur and other volatiles in melon (Cucumis melo L.) fruit.
Itay Gonda,Shery Lev,Einat Bar,Noga Sikron,Vitaly Portnoy,Rachel Davidovich-Rikanati,Joseph Burger,Arthur A. Schaffer,Yaakov Tadmor,James J. Giovannonni,James J. Giovannonni,Mingyun Huang,Zhangjun Fei,Zhangjun Fei,Nurit Katzir,Aaron Fait,Efraim Lewinsohn +16 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that L-methionine is a precursor of both sulfur and non-sulfur aroma volatiles in melon fruit.
