Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: FaDOF2
  • Gene Name: ZnF-Dof-type transcription factor 1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Fragaria ananassa

Functional Descriptions:

  • The fruit-specific transcription factor FaDOF2 regulates the production of eugenol in ripe fruit receptacles.
  • Identified and functionally characterized FaDOF2, a DOF-type ripening-related transcription factor, which is hormonally regulated and specific to the receptacle, though high expression levels were also found in petals.
  • FaDOF2 expression was silenced in ripe strawberry receptacles, the expression of FaEOBII and FaEGS2, two key genes involved in eugenol production, were down-regulated. These fruits showed a concomitant decrease in eugenol content, which confirmed that FaDOF2 is a transcription factor that is involved in eugenol production in ripe fruit receptacles.
  • These results provide evidence that FaDOF2 plays a subsidiary regulatory role with FaEOBII in the expression of genes encoding enzymes that control eugenol production.
