Journal ArticleDOI

The genome of the cucumber, Cucumis sativus L.

Sanwen Huang, +95 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: This study establishes that five of the cucumber's seven chromosomes arose from fusions of ten ancestral chromosomes after divergence from Cucumis melo, and identifies 686 gene clusters related to phloem function.
Journal ArticleDOI

The sequence and de novo assembly of the giant panda genome

Ruiqiang Li, +126 more
- 21 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: Using next-generation sequencing technology alone, a draft sequence of the giant panda genome is generated and assembled, indicating that its bamboo diet might be more dependent on its gut microbiome than its own genetic composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and comparative analysis of drought-associated microRNAs in two cowpea genotypes

TL;DR: Deep sequencing small RNA reads from two cowpea genotypes that grew under well-watered and drought stress conditions suggest that miRNAs may play important roles in drought tolerance incowpea and may be a key factor in determining the level of droughtolerance in different cowpeA genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

High throughput sequencing reveals novel and abiotic stress-regulated microRNAs in the inflorescences of rice

TL;DR: NovelMiRNAs and stress-regulated miRNAs that may play critical roles in stress response in rice inflorescences are discovered and transposable elements or repeats, especially MITEs, are rich sources for miRNA origination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcription Repressor HANABA TARANU Controls Flower Development by Integrating the Actions of Multiple Hormones, Floral Organ Specification Genes, and GATA3 Family Genes in Arabidopsis

TL;DR: Time-course microarray analyses following transient overexpression of HAN support the hypothesis that HAN functions as a key repressor that regulates floral development via regulatory networks involving genes in the GATA3 family, along with genes involved in hormone action and floral organ specification.
