Assembly quality was evaluated from several perspectives (Supplementary Note1). Repetitive DNA comprised about 56.2% of each genome, with Gypsy elements being the most common. For gene annotation, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of multiple tissues at different developmental stages was performed, predicting ...
The genome of watermelon cultivar ‘97103’ was previously assembled using Illumina short reads6. To improve its quality, we assembled the ‘97103’ genome de novo using PacBio long reads, combined with BioNano optical and Hi-C chromatin interaction maps. In total, 20.3 Gb of PacBio sequ...
Though chemically speaking, it is alcohol (as in, it has an -OH group in its molecule), its properties are totally different from the properties of low molecular weight or drying alcohols such as denat. alcohol. Fatty alcohols have a long oil-soluble (and thus emollient) tail part that ...

Melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine) is a ubiquitous molecule with pleiotropic functions in humans, animals and plants; ranging from regulation of circadian rhythms in animals to senescence in plants. In this study we have applied different concentrations of melatonin (0, 0.1, 1, 2.5, 5 and...
2.2.1. Preparation of WSP-glucose conjugates with WH method Under the fixed pH 9, temperature (80 °C) and time (60 min), the effects of WH treatment on DG of WSP-glucose conjugates were determined at different protein/glucose ratios (3:1, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 w/w). Under...
Atomic force microscope (AFM) topography further illustrates that the morphologies of the outer and inner sides of the watermelon skin are completely different (Fig.S2). The peaks at 1610 cm−1and 3350 cm−1have been assigned to carboxylate (COO-) and -OH respectively41and the higher...
Watermelon is an important vegetable crop and is widely cultivated in USA with an approximate global production of > 100 million tons. Powdery mildew (PM) caused by Podosphaera xanthii is a major production-limiting factor on watermelon and othe
The present invention provides novel watermelon line 74WA002 and plant parts, seed, and tissue culture therefrom. The invention also provides methods for producing a watermelon plan
The invention provides seed and plants of the watermelon line designated WAS-45-2158S. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of watermelon line WAS-45-
