Abstract
BackgroundChinese bayberry (Myrica rubra Sieb. & Zucc.) is an important fruit tree in China, and has high medicinal value. At present, the genome, transcriptome and germplasm resources of bayberry have been reported. In order to make more convenient use of these data, the Bayberry Database was established.ResultsThe Bayberry Database is a comprehensive and intuitive data platform for examining the diverse annotated genome and germplasm resources of this species. This database contains nine central functional domains to interact with multiomic data: home, genome, germplasm, markers, tools, map, expression, reference, and contact. All domains provide pathways to a variety of data types composed of a reference genome sequence, transcriptomic data, gene patterns, phenotypic data, fruit images of Myrica rubra varieties, gSSR data, gene maps with annotation and evolutionary analyses. The tools module includes BLAST search, keyword search, sequence fetch and enrichment analysis functions.ConclusionsThe web address of the database is as follows http://www.bayberrybase.cn/. The Myrica rubra database is an intelligent, interactive, and user-friendly system that enables researchers, breeders and horticultural personnel to browse, search and retrieve relevant and useful information and thus facilitate genomic research and breeding efforts concerning Myrica rubra. This database will be of great help to bayberry research and breeding in the future.
Highlights
Chinese bayberry (Myrica rubra Sieb. & Zucc.) is an important fruit tree in China, and has high medicinal value
The Myricaceae family consists of three genera, including approximately 50 species, and it is mainly distributed in warm and humid areas of Asia (e.g., India, Japan, and China), South America (e.g., Brazil), North America, Africa (e.g., Kenya), and Europe (e.g., Spain, Switzerland, Norway, and France) [1,2,3,4]
A 289.92 Mb genome for fine mapping was assembled with 26,325 predicted protein-coding genes [8, 9]
Summary
Chinese bayberry (Myrica rubra Sieb. & Zucc.) is an important fruit tree in China, and has high medicinal value. The key period of color development of red bayberry is the whiting stage, after which the sugar components accumulate rapidly, and the total sugar content reaches the maximum at the harvest stage, when the fruit flavor quality is the best [12, 14]. Research findings suggest that xenia affects fruit yield and quality, and various pollen types have a marked impact on the quality of bayberry fruit [15, 16]. Research on this phenomenon has practical and immediate significance for the fruit tree industry
