Pitaya is a burgeoningly tropical fruit, there are two common varieties, red peel with red pulp and red peel with white pulp.To investigate the reason of different colors in two kinds of pitaya, explore differencially expressed genes (DEGs), in this study, we profiled transcriptome in flesh of two varieties (Hylocereu polyrhizus and Hylocereu undatus) in green stage and mature stage respectively. 53 240 reads with high quality were obtained. Analysing the DEGs, we found there were bigger differences in different stage rather than different variety. Gene ontology (GO) functional analysis and KEGG pathway analysis were adopted in R1 VS R3 and W3 VS W3. Through GO analysis, we found many genes enriched in protein binding transcription factor activity in molecule founction. Through KEGG pathway analysis, we found most genes were enriched in biosynthesis of secondary metabolism, amino acid and nucleic acid metabolism, and tyrosine metabolism. In addintion, tyrosine was the precursor of betalaines. In conclusion, the development of Hylocereu polyrhizus accompanying by the synthesis of a large amount of betalaines, tyrosine played a key role as a precursor, and the synthesis of this pigment required a mass of amino acids, enzymes, and transcription factors. Betalaines synthesis pathway has not cleared yet, this study explored key genes related to betalaines synthesis and provided useful information for optimizing the betalaines synthesis pathway, which was the basis of later experiments.
The "Excellent Engineer Program" is mainly to train application-oriented talents, so it is necessary to build a strong practical teaching system. In order to improve the practical ability of students majoring in Agricultural and Water Conservancy Engineering and strengthen the coordination and cooperation between teaching and practical management, the teaching system should be guided by the needs of the agricultural and water conservancy industry, and build a teaching practice system for outstanding agricultural and water conservancy engineers with "practical teaching as the main body of teaching, and professional ability innovation as the training goal", and gradually improve the students' knowledge of agriculture in understanding and learning, application and innovation of water conservancy projects. Then, it is possible to achieve the goal of training outstanding agricultural and water conservancy engineers. This article explores the Agricultural Water Conservancy Engineering practice teaching for the outstanding engineer program through three aspects: the current teaching status of the Agricultural Water Conservancy Engineering practice, the construction of the Agricultural Water Conservancy Engineering practice teaching system, and the reform measures of the outstanding engineer practice teaching system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
