Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Papaya CpbHLH1/CpbHLH2 regulate carotenoid biosynthesis-related genes during papaya fruit ripening.
  • In response to strong light, the results of elevated expression of carotenoid biosynthesis-related genes and the changed expression of CpbHLH1/CpbHLH2 indicated that CpbHLH1/CpbHLH2 were involved in light-mediated mechanisms of regulating critical genes in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway.
  • Our findings demonstrated several TF family members participating in the regulation of carotenoid genes and proved that CpbHLH1 and CpbHLH2 individually regulated the transcription of lycopene β-cyclase genes (CpCYC-B and CpLCY-B).
  • CpbHLH1 and CpbHLH2 bind promoter regions of CpCYC-B and CpLCY-B and regulate their expression during papaya fruit development.
