TRANSCRIPTOME-WIDE IDENTIFICATION AND EXPRESSION PROFILING OF THE ERF GENE FAMILY SUGGEST ROLES AS TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVATORS AND REPRESSORS OF FRUIT RIPENING IN DURIAN.

Transcriptome-wide identification and expression profiling of the ERF gene family suggest roles as transcriptional activators and repressors of fruit ripening in durian.

The involvement of the phytohormone ethylene as the main trigger of climacteric fruit ripening is well documented.However, our knowledge regarding the role Ironing Mat of ethylene response factor (ERF) transcription factor in the transcriptional regulation of ethylene biosynthesis during fruit ripening remains limited.Here, comprehensive transcript

Changes in both trans- and cis-regulatory elements mediate insecticide resistance in a lepidopteron pest, Spodoptera exigua.

The evolution of insect resistance to insecticides is frequently associated with overexpression of one or more cytochrome P450 enzyme genes.Although overexpression of CYP450 genes is a well-known mechanism of insecticide resistance, the underlying regulatory mechanisms are poorly understood.Here we uncovered the mechanisms of overexpression of the
