One novel strawberry MADS-box transcription factor FaMADS1a acts as a negative regulator in fruit ripening

MADS-box genes, which encode highly conserved DNA-binding transcriptional factors, can regulate developmental processes in plants. null FaMADS1a null has not been functionally analyzed in non-climacteric fruit to date. In this study, one strawberry ( Fragaria null × null ananassa ) MADS-box gene, null FaMADS1a , was cloned and its tissue-specific expression profiles were analyzed. null FaMADS1a null expressed in petal and fruit, and its...
