A New Tomato NAC (NAM/ATAF1/2/CUC2) Transcription Factor, SlNAC4, Functions as a Positive Regulator of Fruit Ripening and Carotenoid Accumulation
TL;DR: Results suggested that ethylene-dependent and -independent processes are regulated by SlNAC4 in the fruit ripening regulatory network.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Tomato MADS-Box Transcription Factor, SlMADS1, Acts as a Negative Regulator of Fruit Ripening
TL;DR: A tomato MADS-box gene, SlMADS1, is cloned and its tissue-specific expression profile was analyzed, suggesting that it plays an important role in fruit ripening as a repressive modulator.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthocyanins accumulation and molecular analysis of correlated genes by metabolome and transcriptome in green and purple asparaguses (Asparagus officinalis, L.).
TL;DR: In this paper, three purple asparagus cultivars, namely Jing Zi-2, Purple Passion and Pacific Purple, and one green cultivar, namely, Jing Lv-1 were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
The abiotic stress-responsive NAC-type transcription factor SlNAC4 regulates salt and drought tolerance and stress-related genes in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
Mingku Zhu,Guoping Chen,Jianling Zhang,Yanjie Zhang,Qiaoli Xie,Zhiping Zhao,Yu Pan,Zongli Hu +7 more
TL;DR: The important role of SlNAC4 functions as a stress-responsive transcription factor in positive modulation of abiotic stress tolerance through an ABA-independent signaling networks and possibly in response to biotic stress, and may hold promising applications in the engineering of salt- and drought-tolerant tomato.
Journal ArticleDOI
Basic leucine zipper transcription factor SlbZIP1 mediates salt and drought stress tolerance in tomato.
TL;DR: The data suggest that SlbZIP1 exerts an essential role in salt and drought stress tolerance through modulating an ABA-mediated pathway, and Slb ZIP1 may hold potential applications in the engineering of salt- and drought-tolerant tomato cultivars.
