Gene Details:
- Gene ID:
- Gene Symbol: CsERF061
- Gene Name: group I ethylene response factor 61
- Genome:
- Species: Citrus sinensis
Functional Descriptions:
- Ethylene activation of carotenoid biosynthesis by a novel transcription factor CsERF061.
- Overexpression of CsERF061 in citrus calli and tomato fruits enhanced carotenoid accumulation by increasing the expression of key carotenoid pathway genes, and increased the number of chromoplasts needed to sequester the elevated concentrations of carotenoids, which was accompanied by changes in the concentrations of abscisic acid and gibberellin.
- CsERF061 is a nucleus-localized transcriptional activator, which directly binds to the promoter of LCYb2 and activates its expression.
- Collectively, our findings decipher a novel regulatory network of carotenoid enhancement by CsERF061, induced by ethylene, which will be useful for manipulating carotenoid accumulation in citrus and other plants.
