Abstract
Fruit spine is an important quality trait of cucumber. To better understand the molecular basis of cucumber spine development and function, RNA-Seq was performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in fruit spines of different development stages, namely, 8 days before anthesis (SpBA8), anthesis (SpA) and 8 days after anthesis (SpAA8). Stage-wise comparisons obtained 2,259 (SpBA8
vs. SpA), 4,551 (SpA
vs. SpAA8), and 5,290 (SpBA8
vs. SpAA8) DEGs. All the DEGs were classified into eight expression clusters by trend analysis. Among these DEGs, in addition to the
Mict,
Tril,
CsTTG1,
CsMYB6,
NS, and
Tu genes that have been reported to regulate fruit spine formation, we found that the
CsHDG11,
CsSCL8,
CsSPL8,
CsZFP6 and
CsZFP8 may also be involved in spine development in cucumber. Our study provides a theoretical basis for further research on molecular mechanisms of spine development in cucumber.
