Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: PpEG4
• Gene Name: endo-beta-1,4-glucanase
• Genome:
• Species: Prunus persica

Functional Descriptions:

• PpEG4 is a peach endo-beta-1,4-glucanase gene whose expression in climacteric peaches does not follow a climacteric pattern.
• PpEG4 belongs to the group of EGases containing, at their carboxy-terminus, a peptide similar to the cellulose binding domain of microbial origin.
• The effect of exogenous ethylene treatments on PpEG4 transcription is null in young fruits and negative in preclimacteric ones, while it is positive in abscission zones.
• The ability of the PpEG4 regulatory sequences to drive transcription in cells undergoing separation events is also maintained in tomato, where about 3 kb of the gene promoter could drive the expression of gusA in preclimacteric fruits and in the fruit abscission zones.
