TLDR

Focused analysis on genes involved in vitamin C metabolism showed that GalUR, encoding the rate-limiting enzyme of the galacturonate pathway, is significantly upregulated in orange fruit, and the recent expansion of this gene family may provide a genomic basis.

Abstract:

Oranges are an important nutritional source for human health and have immense economic value Here we present a comprehensive analysis of the draft genome of sweet orange (Citrus sinensis) The assembled sequence covers 873% of the estimated orange genome, which is relatively compact, as 20% is composed of repetitive elements We predicted 29,445 protein-coding genes, half of which are in the heterozygous state With additional sequencing of two more citrus species and comparative analyses of seven citrus genomes, we present evidence to suggest that sweet orange originated from a backcross hybrid between pummelo and mandarin Focused analysis on genes involved in vitamin C metabolism showed that GalUR, encoding the rate-limiting enzyme of the galacturonate pathway, is significantly upregulated in orange fruit, and the recent expansion of this gene family may provide a genomic basis This draft genome represents a valuable resource for understanding and improving many important citrus traits in the future

Science

TL;DR: The Coffea canephora (coffee) genome was sequenced and identified a conserved gene order, and comparative analyses of caffeine NMTs demonstrate that these genes expanded through sequential tandem duplications independently of genes from cacao and tea, suggesting that caffeine in eudicots is of polyphyletic origin.
