Journal ArticleDOI

Validation of reference genes for RT-qPCR studies of gene expression in banana fruit under different experimental conditions

Lei Chen, +5 more
- 20 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: The results showed that different suitable reference gene(s) or combination of reference genes for normalization should be selected depending on the experimental conditions, and the widely used reference genes, ACT and GAPDH, were not the most suitable reference genes in many banana sample sets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Induction of jasmonate signalling regulators MaMYC2s and their physical interactions with MaICE1 in methyl jasmonate-induced chilling tolerance in banana fruit.

Minglei Zhao, +11 more
- 01 Jan 2013 - 
TL;DR: Strong evidence is provided that MaMYC2 is involved in MeJA-induced chilling tolerance in banana fruit through physically interacting and likely functionally coordinating with MaICE1, revealing a novel mechanism for ICE1 in response to cold stress as well as during development of induced chilling tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Banana Transcription Factor MaERF11 Recruits Histone Deacetylase MaHDA1 and Represses the Expression of MaACO1 and Expansins during Fruit Ripening

Yan-Chao Han, +8 more
- 01 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: MaERF11 physically interacts with a histone deacetylase, MaHDA1, and the interaction significantly strengthens the MaERF 11-mediated transcriptional repression of MaACO1 and Expansins, and suggest that MaerF11 may recruit MaH DA1 to its target genes and repress their expression via histoneDeacetylation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular characterization of banana NAC transcription factors and their interactions with ethylene signalling component EIL during fruit ripening

Wei Shan, +10 more
- 01 Sep 2012 - 
TL;DR: Gene expression profiles in fruit with four different ripening characteristics, including natural, ethylene-induced, 1-methylcyclopropene-delayed, and a combination of 1-MCP with ethylene treatment, revealed that the MaNAC genes were differentially expressed in peel and pulp during post-harvest ripening.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comprehensive investigation of starch degradation process and identification of a transcriptional activator MabHLH6 during banana fruit ripening.

Yun-yi Xiao, +6 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: Findings suggest that starch degradation during banana fruit ripening may be attributed to the complex actions of numerous enzymes related to starch breakdown at transcriptional and translational levels, and that MabHLH6 may act as a positive regulator of this process via direct activation of a series of starch degradation‐related genes.
