show Abstracthide AbstractIn this study, to determine the regulatory networks mediating grafting on the sensory features of watermelon and bottle gourd fruit, we performed a comprehensive transcriptome analysis of different tissues (root, stem, leaf and fruit) of grafted watermelon onto bottle gourd rootstock and its reciprocal grafted set as compared with self-grafted plants. Furthermore, RNA-seq data were used to identify mobile transcripts in these heterografts.
