Journal ArticleDOI
A NAC transcription factor, NOR-like1, is a new positive regulator of tomato fruit ripening.
Ying Gao,Wei Wei,Xiaodan Zhao,Xiao-Li Tan,Zhong-Qi Fan,Yiping Zhang,Yuan Jing,Lan-Huan Meng,Benzhong Zhu,Hongliang Zhu,Jian-ye Chen,Cai-Zhong Jiang,Cai-Zhong Jiang,Donald Grierson,Donald Grierson,Yunbo Luo,Daqi Fu +16 more
TL;DR: A systematic search of fruit-expressed NAC genes showed that silencing NOR-like1 using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) inhibited specific aspects of ripening, demonstrating a key role for NOR- like1 as a positive regulator of tomato ripening and a potential tool for controlling this important process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Melatonin delays leaf senescence of Chinese flowering cabbage by suppressing ABFs-mediated abscisic acid biosynthesis and chlorophyll degradation.
Xiao-Li Tan,Zhong-Qi Fan,Jian-fei Kuang,Wang-jin Lu,Russel J. Reiter,Prakash Lakshmanan,Xin-guo Su,Jie Zhou,Jian-ye Chen,Wei Shan +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that exogenous application of melatonin delayed the senescence of Chinese flowering cabbage, accompanied by reduced expression of chlorophyll catabolic and ABA biosynthetic genes, and a lower endogenous ABA level.
Journal ArticleDOI
A banana R2R3-MYB transcription factor MaMYB3 is involved in fruit ripening through modulation of starch degradation by repressing starch degradation-related genes and MabHLH6.
TL;DR: MaMYB3 negatively impacts starch degradation by directly repressing starch degradation-related genes and MabHLH6, and thereby delays banana fruit ripening, and expands the understanding of the complex transcriptional regulatory hierarchy modulating starch degradation during Fruit ripening.
Journal ArticleDOI
Re-evaluation of the nor mutation and the role of the NAC-NOR transcription factor in tomato fruit ripening
Ying Gao,Ying Gao,Wei Wei,Zhong-Qi Fan,Xiaodan Zhao,Yiping Zhang,Yuan Jing,Benzhong Zhu,Hongliang Zhu,Wei Shan,Jian-ye Chen,Donald Grierson,Donald Grierson,Yunbo Luo,Tomislav Jemrić,Cai-Zhong Jiang,Cai-Zhong Jiang,Daqi Fu +17 more
TL;DR: The 186 aa truncated protein produced by the tomato spontaneous non-ripening (nor) mutant enters the nucleus and combines with the promoters of its target genes, resulting in a gain of function.
Journal ArticleDOI
The banana fruit Dof transcription factor MaDof23 acts as a repressor and interacts with MaERF9 in regulating ripening-related genes
TL;DR: The banana transcriptional repressor MaDof23 and transcriptional activator MaERF9 may act antagonistically in regulating 10 ripening-related genes associated with cell wall degradation and aroma formation.
