Apple EIN3 BINDING F-box 1 inhibits the activity of three apple EIN3-like tra…

Abstract: Background and aims. Fruit ripening in Malus × domestica (apple) is controlled by ethylene. Work in model species has shown that following the detection of ethylene, the ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE 3 (EIN3) transcription factor is stabilized, leading to an increase in transcript accumulation of ethylene-responsive genes, such as POLYGALACTURONASE1 (PG1). In the absence of ethylene, the EI…
