Abstract
The Japanese apricot (Prunus mume Sieb. et Zucc.) is a typical climacteric fruit which loses commercial value during processing when the surface color turns yellow. In our study, treatment with nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA), an abscisic acid (ABA) synthesis inhibitor, delayed the increase of ethylene and decrease of firmness towards ripening, and retarded the degradation of chlorophyll and the accumulation of carotenoids including β-carotene and lycopene through the expression of PmCHL (coding for chlorophyllase), PmGGPPS (coding for geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase), PmPDS (coding for phytoene desaturase), PmPSY (coding for phytoene synthases), and PmLCYB (coding for lycopene beta-cyclase). NDGA inhibited the ABA synthesis through PmNCED1 and these results show that ABA may affect the ripening of the Japanese apricot by influencing ethylene production and the expression of PmACS (coding for ACC synthase), PmACO (ACC oxidase) and the ethylene-responsive gene PmERF (ethylene-responsive transcription factor), and thus that ethylene and ABA may interact during fruit ripening in climacteric fruit.

期刊介绍:
Agri Gene publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in crop plants, farm animals, and agriculturally important insects and microorganisms. Agri Gene strives to be a diverse journal and topics in multiple fields will be considered for publication so long as their main focus is on agriculturally important organisms (plants, animals, insects, or microorganisms). Although not limited to the following, some examples of potential topics include: Gene discovery and characterization. Genetic markers to guide traditional breeding. Genetic effects of transposable elements. Evolutionary genetics, molecular evolution, population genetics, and phylogenetics. Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation. Biotechnology and crop or livestock improvement. Genetic improvement of biological control microorganisms. Genetic control of secondary metabolic pathways and metabolic enzymes of crop pathogens. Transcription analysis of beneficial or pest insect developmental stages Agri Gene encourages submission of novel manuscripts that present a reasonable level of analysis, functional relevance and/or mechanistic insight. Agri Gene also welcomes papers that have predominantly a descriptive component but improve the essential basis of knowledge for subsequent functional studies, or which provide important confirmation of recently published discoveries provided that the information is new.
