Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation PbARF18 was identified as a nuclear-localized transcriptional repressor and negative flowering regulator in pear.
- Intervention effect NAA raised PbARF18 and PbSVP expression and suppressed PbAP1, PbFUL, and PbFT1 in pear.
- Intervention effect NPA induced expression patterns contrary to NAA in pear.
- Observation Heterologous PbAP1 expression accelerated Arabidopsis floral transition.
- Observation PbARF18 bound the PbAP1 promoter and reduced PbAP1 transcription in pear.
- Observation PbTPL interacted with PbARF18.
- Observation Co-expression of PbARF18 and PbTPL synergistically enhanced PbAP1 promoter repression.
