Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Ma01_g01710
• Gene Symbol: MaBEL1
• Gene Name: BEL1-LIKE HOMEODOMAIN transcription factor 1
• Genome:
• Species: Musa acuminata

Functional Descriptions:

• MaBEL1 regulates banana fruit ripening by activating cell wall and starch degradation-related genes.
• BEL1-LIKE HOMEODOMAIN transcription factor 1 (MaBEL1) and its associated proteins regulate the fruit softening and ripening process.
• The transcript and protein levels of MaBEL1 were up-regulated with fruit ripening but severely repressed by the chilling stress.
• The transient overexpression of MaBEL1 alleviated fruit chilling injury and ripening disorder caused by cold stress and promoted fruit softening and ripening of “Fenjiao” banana by inducing ethylene production and starch and cell wall degradation.
• Report a novel MaBEL1-MaEBF1-MaABI5-like complex system that mediates the fruit softening and ripening disorder in “Fenjiao” bananas caused by cold stress.
