| Abstract: | 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase (ACS) is one of the key regulatory enzymes involved in the synthesis of ethylene. Climacteric fruit ripening is accompanied by increased ethylene production, in which ethylene biosynthesis is changed from system 1 to system 2. In apple, at least four members of the ACS gene family have been identified, two of which, MdACS1 and MdACS3a, have been studied extensively due to their specific expression in fruit tissue. However, the regulatory role of MdACS1 and MdACS3a in the ethylene biosynthesis system is unknown. Here we addressed this issue by investigating ACS expression in ripening apple fruits. Expression analysis in ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Red Fuji’ fruits, in combination with treatments of 1-MCP (1-methylcyclopropene, an ethylene inhibitor) and Ethephon (an ethylene releaser) has demonstrated that MdACS3a and MdACS1operate in system 1 and system 2 ethylene biosynthesis, respectively. |
