Abstract
In order to screen the genes controlling watermelon rind color and luster, the experiment was carried out with yellow watermelon skin mutants as tester and green wild type watermelon as control, and transcriptome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were done. The results show that 34.27Gb clean data were got by transcriptome sequencing. There are 261 differentially expressed genes among Y1_vs_G1, Y2_vs_G2 and Y3_vs_G3. The pathways contenting most differentially expressed genes are plant hormone signal transduction pathway, phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway, photosynthesis pathway, starch and sucrose metabolism pathway. 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase (Cla002942), alcohol dehydrogenase (Cla004992), photosystem I reaction center subunit III, chloroplastic (precursor) (Cla009181), long-chain acyl coenzyme A synthetase (Cla017341), threonine dehydratase biosynthetic (Cla018352) candidates genes were screened out.
