The watermelon genome has the added benefit of illuminating the plant vascular system. The genome of the domesticated watermelon contains 23,440 genes, roughly the same number of genes as in humans, according to scientists at Cornell. To decode it, the team compared the genomes of 20 different watermelons. This enabled the researchers to identify which areas of the genome have been under selection by humans, like those associated with fruit taste, size and color. Along with the previously published cucumber genome, the watermelon genome is now helping biologists determine how proteins and RNAs are involved in the plant vascular system, which could lead to drought-resistant crops.
