The pineapple reference genome: Telomere-to-telomere assembly, manually curated annotation, and comparative analysis.

Pineapple is the third most crucial tropical fruit worldwide and available in five varieties. Genomes of different pineapple varieties have been released to date; however, none of them are complete, with all exhibiting substantial gaps and representing only two of the five pineapple varieties. This significantly hinders the advancement of pineapple breeding efforts.

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Gibberellic Acid-Stimulated Arabidopsis Gene Family in Pineapple ().

The gibberellic acid-stimulated Arabidopsis (GASA) gene family plays a crucial role in growth, development, and stress response, and it is specific to plants. This gene family has been extensively studied in various plant species, and its functional role in pineapple has yet to be characterized. In this study, 15 genes were identified in pineapple through a genome-wide scan and categorized into three major branches based on a phylogenetic tree.

The Synergistic Mechanism of Photosynthesis and Antioxidant Metabolism between the Green and White Tissues of var. Chimeric Leaves.

var. () is a typical leaf-chimeric ornamental plant. The chimeric leaves are composed of central green photosynthetic tissue (GT) and marginal albino tissue (AT).

Function of ALA Content in Porphyrin Metabolism Regulation of var. .

Chlorophyll and heme are essential molecules for photosynthesis and respiration, which are competing branches of the porphyrin metabolism pathway. Chlorophyll and heme balance regulation is very important for the growth and development of plants. The chimeric leaves of var.

Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Provide Insight into Anthocyanin Biosynthesis Regulation Mechanism of var. .

The R2R3-MYB proteins comprise the largest class of MYB transcription factors, which play an essential role in regulating anthocyanin synthesis in various plant species. var. is an important colorful anthocyanins-rich garden plant.

Unveiling the molecular mechanism involving anthocyanins in pineapple peel discoloration during fruit maturation.

Peel color is a key factor that affects the fruit's aesthetic and economic values. Limited knowledge is available on the regulation of pineapple peel discoloration. Here, we report that a decrease in anthocyanin biosynthesis, particularly cyanidin, is predominantly associated with the pineapple peel color change during maturation.

The highly continuous reference genome of a leaf-chimeric red pineapple (Ananas comosus var. bracteatus f. tricolor) provides insights into elaboration of leaf color.

Ananas comosus var. bracteatus f. tricolor (GL1) is a red pineapple accession whose mostly green leaves with chimeric white leaf margins turn red in spring and autumn and during flowering.

Comparative transcriptome analysis of a fan-shaped inflorescence in pineapple using RNA-seq.

Pineapple plant usually has a capitulum. However, a fan-shaped inflorescence was exceptionally evolved in pineapple, having multiple crown buds. In order to reveal the molecular mechanisms of the formation of the fan-shaped inflorescence, fruit traits and the transcriptional differences between the fan-shaped inflorescence and the wild-shaped inflorescence pineapples were analyzed in three tissues, i.

Methylation Analysis of CpG Islands in Pineapple Promoter.

Somatic embryogenesis (SE) is a more rapid and controllable method for plant propagation than traditional breeding methods. However, it often suffers from limited efficiency. promotes SE in several plants, including pineapple ( L.

Identification of an Embryonic Cell-Specific Region within the Pineapple Promoter.

Plant tissue culture methods, such as somatic embryogenesis, are attractive alternatives to traditional breeding methods for plant propagation. However, they often suffer from limited efficiency. Somatic embryogenesis receptor kinase ( is a marker gene of early somatic embryogenesis in several plants, including pineapple.

Comprehensive tissue-specific transcriptome profiling of pineapple () and building an eFP-browser for further study.

Pineapple is one of the most economically important tropical or subtropical fruit trees. However, few studies focus on the development of its unique collective fruit. In this study, we generated a genome-wide developmental transcriptomic profile of 14 different tissues of the collective fruit of the pineapple covering each of the three major fruit developmental stages.

Genome-wide organization and expression profiling of the R2R3-MYB transcription factor family in pineapple (Ananas comosus).

Background: The MYB proteins comprise one of the largest families of plant transcription factors, which are involved in various plant physiological and biochemical processes. Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is one of three most important tropical fruits worldwide. The completion of pineapple genome sequencing provides a great opportunity to investigate the organization and evolutionary traits of pineapple MYB genes at the genome-wide level.

Transcriptome Profiling of the Pineapple under Low Temperature to Facilitate Its Breeding for Cold Tolerance.

The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is cold sensitive. Most cultivars are injured during winter periods, especially in sub-tropical regions. There is a lack of molecular information on the pineapple's response to cold stress.
