Overview of research on virus-resistant breeding of melon.

The development of virus-resistant melon varieties not only poses challenges in balancing melon quality and resistance but also contributes to sustainable agricultural development. This research focuses on the exploration and application of various breeding techniques to enhance the virus resistance of melon varieties. Molecular markers associated with virus resistance genes have been identified and utilized in marker-assisted selection, enabling more efficient and targeted breeding.

Physiological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses of the chilling stress response in two melon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes.

Background: Chilling stress is a key abiotic stress that severely restricts the growth and quality of melon (Cucumis melo L.). Few studies have investigated the mechanism of response to chilling stress in melon.

RNA-seq-based transcriptome profiling of early fruit development in Chieh-qua and analysis of related transcription factors.

Chieh-qua (Benincasa hispida Cogn. var. Chieh-qua How.

Transcriptome analysis reveals association of carotenoid metabolism pathway with fruit color in melon.

Flesh color is an important quality of melon (Cucumis melo L.) and is determined mainly by carotenoid content, awarding them with colors, aromas, and nutrients. enhancing the nutritional and health benefits of fruits and vegetables for humans.

Chloroplast genome sequence of Chongming lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) and comparative analyses with other legume chloroplast genomes.

Background: Lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus L.) is a member of subfamily Phaseolinae belonging to the family Leguminosae and an important source of plant proteins for the human diet. As we all know, lima beans have important economic value and great diversity.

Heat shock factors in tomatoes: genome-wide identification, phylogenetic analysis and expression profiling under development and heat stress.

The HSF (heat shock factor) gene family contains highly conserved plant-specific transcription factors that play an important role in plant high-temperature stress responses. The present study aimed to characterize the HSF transcription factor genes in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), which is an important vegetable crop worldwide and the model plant for fruit development studies. Twenty-six SlyHSF genes were identified in tomato, and the phylogenetic analysis showed the possible evolution profile of subgroups among in the plant kingdom.
