Ethylene stimulates the accumulation of ripening‐related mRNAs in tomatoes

Abstract: Seven cDNA clones for ripening-related mRNAs were used as hybridization probes to study the regulation of gene expression during tomato {Lyeopersieon eseulentum Mill) ripening. The mRNAs corresponding to each clone were detected by Northern blotting and the sizes of the transcripts compared with the molecular weights of polypeptides identified previously by hybrid-release translation. Dot hybridization to poIy(A)-t-mRNA from leaves, roots, unripe and ripe tomatoes established that five of the clones encoded mR… Show more

“…Expression of the gene represented by clone F could not be detected during normal ripening or ethylene promoted ripening; nor was expression observed in root, leaf, stem or wounded leaf RNA. pTOM5, on the other hand, was expressed during ripening as shown previously [6]. This together with the structural analysis leads us to conclude that the gene represented by clone F is not expressed and may represent a pseudogene.…”

“…We have cloned the mRNAs for at least 19 proteins whose expression is increased during ripening [6,8], and have investigated their function using antisense RNA [1,4,9]. This has led to the identification ofpTOM5, a ripening-specific cDNA clone [6], as encoding an enzyme critical in carotenoid biosynthesis [ 1 ].…”

“…The application of exogenous ethylene (or its analogue propylene) to mature green tomato fruit is sufficient to induce the ripening process (McGlasson et al ., 1975), though immature fruit do not respond in this way. A number of ripening-related mRNAs have been shown to accumulate either directly or indirectly in response to ethylene (Lincoln et al ., 1987 ;Maunders et al ., 1987) . Conversely, the application of chemical inhibitors of ethylene synthesis or perception inhibit normal fruit ripening (Hobson & Grierson, 1993, and references therein) .…”
