Characterization of Tomato Fruit LeRIN Gene Application Virus-Induced Gene Silencing Technology

Article Preview

Abstract:

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a powerful tool for the study of gene function and down regulate specific gene expression in plant. The RIN transcription factor is an important developmental regulator in tomato fruit ripening. In this work, the TRV-LeRIN infiltrated fruit significantly developed green color phenotypes, whereas the control fruit would turn red normally. Dissection of silenced areas for analysis identified whether the LeRIN gene is silenced or not. Taken together, we successfully applied syringe infiltration method of VIGS to silence the LeRIN gene in tomato fruit. These results are critical for understanding the mechanism of tomato fruit ripening.
