Total RNA was extracted from 0.5 g frozen peel tissue from the control and ATF-treated Ponkan fruit following the procedures described by Ma et al. (2014) (link). The quality and quantification of RNA were determined using 1.0% agarose gel electrophoresis and a NanoDrop 2000 spectrophotometer, respectively. The synthesis of first-strand cDNA was performed using a Hifair II first-strand cDNA synthesis kit (Yeasen, Shanghai, China). The gene expression patterns of MnSOD1 (Ponkan7g_002820), CAT1 (Ponkan2g_014350), POD1 (Ponkan4g_000980), APX1 (Ponkan2g_006070), GR2 (Ponkan5g_040100), MDHAR5 (Ponkan5g_022520), DHAR3 (Ponkan7g_004490), GST3 (Ponkan5g_037340), and GPX2 (Ponkan5g_023250) in Ponkan fruit were analyzed by qRT-PCR and designed using Primer Express 5.0. The citrus β-actin (Ponkan1g_003790) gene was used as the internal control gene for each gene amplification. All qRT-PCR was performed triplicates in a 10-μl mixture containing 1.0 μl of diluted cDNA, 0.3 μl of each gene-specific primer (1 μM, Supplementary Table 1), 5 μl of TB Green Premix Ex Taq and 3.4 μl of nuclease-free water. The PCR protocol was as follows: an initial denaturation at 95°C for 1 min, followed by 40 cycles at 95°C for 15 s, and a primer extension at 63°C for 25 s. The relative expression of each targeted gene was calculated by the 2–ΔΔCt method with three biological replicates.

cDNA library preparation and sequencing were performed using a Hifair II First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (gDNA digester plus), produced by the Shanghai Yeasen Biotechnology Company (Shanghai, China). mRNA was isolated using oligo(dT) primers. The mRNA was fragmented into short pieces after the addition of fragmentation buffer, and first-strand cDNA was synthesized with random primers. Then, second-strand cDNA was synthesized using the buffer, deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates (dNTPs), RNase H, and DNA polymerase I. The synthetic cDNA was subjected to end-repair by polymerase with Seloxa adapters, and suitable fragments were retrieved via agarose gel electrophoresis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was carried out to enrich the purified fragments. RNA-Seq was carried out using an Illumina HiSeqTM4000 sequencing platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
