Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: PhACO1
  • Gene Name: 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase1
  • Genome:
  • Species: Petunia hybrida

Functional Descriptions:

  • PhACO1 was subsequently edited using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and its role in ethylene production was investigated.
  • PhACO1-edited T0 mutant lines, regardless of mutant type (homozygous or monoallelic), exhibited significantly reduced ethylene production and enhanced flower longevity compared with wild-type. Flower longevity and the reduction in ethylene production were observed to be stronger in homozygous plants than in their monoallelic counterparts.
  • The PhACO1 gene, which is highly expressed during the flowering period, was edited with the CRISPR/Cas9 system in order to generate PhACO1-edited mutants that exhibited lower ethylene production and subsequently greater flower longevity.
  • Overall, this study increases the understanding of the role of PhACO1 in petunia flower longevity and also points to the CRISPR/Cas9 system being a powerful tool in the improvement of floricultural quality.
  • PhGRL2 protein, interacting with PhACO1, is involved in flower senescence in the petunia.
