Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: FaAAT2
  • Gene Name: alcohol acyltransferase2
  • Genome:
  • Species: Fragaria ananassa

Functional Descriptions:

  • The fruit ripening-related gene FaAAT2 encodes an acyl transferase involved in strawberry aroma biogenesis.
  • This study identified a novel strawberry alcohol acyltransferase gene (FaAAT2) whose expression pattern during fruit receptacle growth and ripening is in accordance with the production of esters throughout strawberry fruit ripening.
  • When FaAAT2 expression was transiently downregulated in the fruit receptacle by agroinfiltration, the volatile ester production was significantly reduced in strawberry fruit.
  • The results suggest that FaAAT2 plays a significant role in the production of esters that contribute to the final strawberry fruit flavour.
