“…It is conceivable that, prior to fruit ripening, other flavor-related gene promoters and promoters involved in ethylene biosynthesis and softening are actively repressed. Such complexity has been observed in tomato, where the action of the APETALA2 (AP2) class TF SlAP2a/AP2a (Chung et al, 2010;Karlova et al, 2011) negatively regulates fruit ripening, whereas the action of positive signals such as LeMADS-RIN (Vrebalov et al, 2002), CLEAR NON-RIPENING/Cnr (Manning et al, 2006), TAGL1 (Vrebalov et al, 2009), LeHB-1 , and the NAC TFs SlNAC4 and NOR (Martel et al, 2011;Zhu et al, 2014) promotes ripening.…”
