Mutagenesis of SlNAC4 by CRISPR/Cas9 alters gene expression and softening of ripening tomato fruit [PDF]
Vegetable Research, 2021 Softening is one of the key fruit quality traits, which results from the selective expression of cell wall metabolism genes during ripening. The identification of transcription factors (TFs) that regulate fruit softening is an important field in order to

The PpIAA5-ARF8 Module Regulates Fruit Ripening and Softening in Peach
Horticulturae, 2023 Fruit ripening and softening are important physiological processes in fruit quality formation, and auxin is involved in regulating the ripening and softening process in peach fruit. Little research has been reported on the role of Aux/IAA (auxin/indole-3-

Hypersensitive ethylene signaling and ZMdPG1 expression lead to fruit softening and dehiscence.
PLoS ONE, 2013 'Taishanzaoxia' fruit rapid softening and dehiscence during ripening stage and this process is very sensitive to endogenous ethylene. In this study, we cloned five ethylene signal transcription factors (ZMdEIL1, ZMdEIL2, ZMdEIL3, ZMdERF1 and ZMdERF2) and

Beta-galactosidase gene family genome-wide identification and expression analysis of members related to fruit softening in melon (Cucumis melo L.) [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2022 Background Texture quality is impotent for melon (Cucumis melo L.) fruit. β-galactosidase (β-Gal, EC 3.2.1.23) is an important cell wall glycosyl hydrolase involved in fruit softening, However, the β-Gal gene (BGALs) family hasn’t been identified genome ...
