Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: FaPG1
  • Gene Name: putative endo-polygalacturonase
  • Genome:
  • Species: Fragaria ananassa

Functional Descriptions:

  • Antisense Down-Regulation of the FaPG1 Gene Reveals an Unexpected Central Role for Polygalacturonase in Strawberry Fruit Softening.
  • The strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa ‘Chandler’) fruit undergoes a fast softening during ripening. Polygalacturonase (PG) activity is low during this process, but two ripening-related PG genes, FaPG1 and FaPG2, have been cloned.
  • Ripened fruits from the four selected lines showed a 90% to 95% decrease in FaPG1 transcript abundance, whereas the level of FaPG2 was not significantly altered.
  • These results indicate that FaPG1 plays a central role in strawberry softening.
