Expression of expansin genes in strawberry varieties with contrasting fruit firmness

Fruit softening is associated with cell wall disassembly mediated by the action of a complex set of enzymes and proteins. Expansins, a group of proteins with unknown enzymatic activity, are proposed to be involved in this process. In order to study the involvement of expansins in strawberry fruit so...

520 |a Fruit softening is associated with cell wall disassembly mediated by the action of a complex set of enzymes and proteins. Expansins, a group of proteins with unknown enzymatic activity, are proposed to be involved in this process. In order to study the involvement of expansins in strawberry fruit softening we have analyzed the expression level of five expansin mRNAs (FaEXP1, FaEXP2, FaEXP4, FaEXP5 and FaEXP6) in the cultivars "Selva", "Camarosa" and "Toyonaka", which differ in fruit firmness during ripening. We have found a correlation between mRNA expression levels and fruit firmness for FaEXP1, FaEXP2 and FaEXP5. For these three mRNAs we have observed higher expression levels in the softest cultivar (Toyonaka) than in the other two firmer cultivars (Selva and Camarosa) at the beginning of ripening. This correlation was not found in the case of FaEXP4 and FaEXP6, although both genes displayed a different expression pattern in the three cultivars analyzed. Western-blot analysis revealed that the accumulation of expansin proteins begins earlier in the softest cultivar during ripening
