Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: FaPG2
• Gene Name: polygalacturonase-like protein
• Genome:
• Species: Fragaria ananassa

Functional Descriptions:

• 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.
• Expression of FaPG1 and FaPG2 genes, in relative units, and evolution of fruit firmness during fruit development. Bars represent means ± SD of three independent RNA quantifications.
• These results show that the expression of FaPG1 and FaPG2 genes is negatively regulated by auxin.
