Gene Details:
Functional Descriptions:
- FaGAST2, a strawberry ripening-related gene, acts together with FaGAST1 to determine cell size of the fruit receptacle.
- However, transitory silencing of FaGAST2 gene expression through RNA interference approaches revealed an increase in FaGAST1 expression, but no changes in fruit cell size were observed.
- The FaGAST2 and FaGAST1 expression pattern during strawberry fruit growth and ripening indicate that both are ripening-related genes.
- These results suggest that the expression of FaGAST2 and FaGAST1 genes would not be regulated either by GA3 or by ABA.
