Trihelix proteins are plant-specific transcription factors that are classified as GT factors due to their binding specificity for GT elements, and they play crucial roles in development and stress responses. However, their involvement in fruit ripening and transcriptional regulatory mechanisms remains largely unclear. In this study, we cloned SlGT31, encoding a trihelix protein in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), and determined that its relative expression was significantly induced by the application of exogenous ethylene whereas it was repressed by the ethylene-inhibitor 1-methylcyclopropene. Suppression of SlGT31 expression resulted in delayed fruit ripening, decreased accumulation of total carotenoids, and reduced ethylene content, together with inhibition of expression of genes related to ethylene and fruit ripening. Conversely, SlGT31-overexpression lines showed opposite results. Yeast one-hybrid and dual-luciferase assays indicated that SlGT31 can bind to the promoters of two key ethylene-biosynthesis genes, ACO1 and ACS4. Taken together, our results indicate that SlGT31 might act as a positive modulator during fruit ripening |
