Expression Fluctuations of Genes Involved in Carbohydrate Metabolism Affected by Alterations of Ethylene Biosynthesis Associated with Ripening in Banana Fruit.

ABSTRACT: The banana is a typical climacteric fruit that undergoes ethylene dependent ripening. During fruit ripening, ethylene production triggers a developmental cascade that results in a series of physiological and biochemical changes. The fruit transcriptomes of untransformated wild-type (WT) and RNAi transgenic banana plants for Mh-ACO1 and Mh-ACO2 have been previously sequenced and analyzed, and most of the differentially expressed genes were enriched in 'carbon fixation in photosynthetic organism', 'cysteine and methionine metabolism', 'citrate cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle, TCA cycle)', and 'starch and sucrose metabolism' based on Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) annotation. In this research, we investigated the expression fluctuations of genes involved in carbohydrate metabo
