Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: FaβGal4
  • Gene Name: β-galactosidase 14
  • Genome:
  • Species: Fragaria ananassa

Functional Descriptions:

  • Antisense down-regulation of the strawberry β-galactosidase gene FaβGal4 increases cell wall galactose levels and reduces fruit softening.
  • A putative β-galactosidase gene, FaβGal4, has been identified using a custom-made oligonucleotide-based strawberry microarray platform.
  • FaβGal4 was expressed mainly in the receptacle during fruit ripening, and was positively regulated by abscisic acid and negatively regulated by auxins.
  • These results suggest that FaβGal4 participates in the solubilization of covalently bound pectins during ripening, reducing strawberry fruit firmness.
