Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Starch accumulation correlated negatively with ethylene levels during late apple fruit development.
- Observation Transcriptomic analysis identified the alpha-amylase gene MdAMY1 as a key component of the ethylene-starch regulatory pathway.
- Mechanism MdAMY1, an ethylene-responsive gene, acts as a positive regulator of starch-to-sugar conversion.
- Mechanism The bHLH transcription factor MdbHLH149 directly represses MdAMY1 transcription.
- Mechanism MdERF17 interacts with MdbHLH149 and synergistically enhances the repression of MdAMY1.
