Functional Descriptions:

• Transgenic Lotus japonicus with an Ethylene Receptor Gene Cm-ERS1/H70A Enhances Formation of Infection Threads and Nodule Primordia.
• We produced transgenic Lotus japonicus carrying the mutated melon ethylene receptor gene Cm-ERS1/H70A that confers ethylene insensitivity and fixes the transgene in the T3 generation.
• Because the Cm-ERS1/H70A gene was driven by the CaMV-35S promoter, the transgene likely was expressed throughout the entire plant, including the root system.
• Our results suggest that Cm-ERS1/H70A is equally useful for reducing ethylene sensitivity in heterologous Lotus plants.
• Northern analysis revealed that the level of Cm-ERS1mRNA in the pericarp increased in parallel with the increase in fruit size and then markedly decreased at the end of enlargement.
• During ripening Cm-ERS1 mRNA increased slightly in the pericarp of fruit before the marked increase of Cm-ETR1 mRNA paralleled climacteric ethylene production.
• Cm-ETR1 andCm-ERS1 play specific roles not only in ripening but also in the early development of melon fruit and that they have distinct roles in particular fruit tissues at particular developmental stages.
