SlWRKY35 positively regulates carotenoid biosynthesis by activating the MEP pathway in tomato fruit

Yong Yuan et al.

Summary: Carotenoids are important phytonutrients and the study identifies SlWRKY35 as a positive regulator of carotenoid biosynthesis in tomato. SlWRKY35 activates the expression of the SlDXS1 gene to enhance carotenoid accumulation. The master regulator SlRIN is also involved in regulating SlWRKY35 during tomato fruit ripening.

SlERF.F12 modulates the transition to ripening in tomato fruit by recruiting the co-repressor TOPLESS and histone deacetylases to repress key ripening genes

Heng Deng et al.

Summary: This study reveals that SlERF.F12, an ethylene response factor, negatively regulates the initiation of tomato fruit ripening by recruiting a co-repressor and histone deacetylases. SlERF.F12 interacts with the co-repressor and recruits histone deacetylases to form a complex, which decreases the acetylation level at the promoter regions of ripening genes, thus repressing their transcription.

Ethylene-induced banana starch degradation mediated by an ethylene signaling component MaEIL2

Li-sha Zhu et al.

Summary: During banana ripening, the gradual decrease in starch content and the increase in soluble sugars are mediated by the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. The ethylene signaling component MaEIL2 positively modulates starch breakdown by promoting the transcription of starch degradation enzyme genes like MaAMY3, MaISA2, and MaISA3.

An apple (Malus domestica) AP2/ERF transcription factor modulates carotenoid accumulation

Qingyuan Dang et al.

Summary: In this study, a transcription factor named MdAP2-34 in apple was identified to promote carotenoid accumulation in fruit flesh. This transcription factor participates in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway and primarily regulates phytoene and beta-carotene accumulation in apple fruits. Overexpression of MdPSY2-1, a major gene in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway, mainly increases phytoene and total carotenoid contents in apple calli.

Red light-induced kumquat fruit coloration is attributable to increased carotenoid metabolism regulated by FcrNAC22

Jinli Gong et al.

Summary: Carotenoids play vital roles in fruit coloration, with red light inducing accelerated degreening and carotenoid accumulation in kumquat fruits through the specific induction of a NAC transcription factor, FcrNAC22. FcrNAC22 activates key carotenoid metabolic genes and enhances color change in citrus and tomato fruits, mediating red light-induced fruit coloration.
