Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: PhERS1
• Gene Name: ethylene receptor1
• Genome:
• Species: Petunia hybrida

Functional Descriptions:

• Characterization of two ethylene receptors PhERS1 and PhETR2 from petunia: PhETR2 regulates timing of anther dehiscence.
• Genomic Southern blot analysis revealed that small families of PhERS1-related and PhETR2-related genes exist in petunia. PhERS1 and PhETR2 are constitutively expressed in stem, flower bud, flower, and roots, with a very low level in leaves.
• Transgenic petunia plants with decreased PhERS1 expression caused by double-stranded RNA inhibition (dsRNAi) exhibited the wild-type phenotype, but showed increased mRNA levels of PhETR2.
• Arabidopsis plants transformed with a site-mutated PhERS1 in the potential ethylene-binding domain exhibited partial ethylene insensitivity, suggesting that the function of this domain is conserved in the two species.
