The plant hormone ethylene plays a key role in climacteric fruit ripening. Studies on
components of ethylene signaling have revealed a linear transduction pathway leading to …

Abstract You‐Zhi Ma (Corresponding author) Plants have acquired sophisticated stress
response systems to adapt to changing environments. It is important to understand plants' …

Ethylene induces anthocyanin biosynthesis in most fruits, including apple (Malus
domestica), strawberry (Fragaria× ananassa), and plum (Prunus spp.). However, ethylene …

Genes in the ERF family encode transcriptional regulators with a variety of functions
involved in the developmental and physiological processes in plants. In this study, a …

Biotrophic fungi interacting with plants establish long-term relationships with their hosts to
fulfill their life cycles. In contrast to necrotrophs, they need to contend with the defense …

Plants of Artemisia annua produce artemisinin, a sesquiterpene lactone widely used in
malaria treatment. Amorpha-4, 11-diene synthase (ADS), a sesquiterpene synthase, and …

A new member of the AP2/ERF transcription factor family, GmERF3, was isolated from
soybean. Sequence analysis showed that GmERF3 contained an AP2/ERF domain of 58 …

The ripening of fleshy fruits represents the unique coordination of developmental and
biochemical pathways leading to changes in color, texture, aroma, and nutritional quality of …

The AP2 transcription factor family, found only in plants, includes several genes that encode
proteins involved in the regulation of disease resistance pathways. These genes are …

Our knowledge of the factors mediating ethylene-dependent ripening of climacteric fruit
remains limited. The transcription of ethylene-regulated genes is mediated by ethylene …
