The RING-type E3 ligase RIE1 sustains leaf longevity by specifically targeting AtACS7 to fine-tune ethylene production in Arabidopsis

11 months 3 weeks ago
Ethylene is widely recognized as a positive regulator of leaf senescence. However, how plants coordinate the biosynthesis of ethylene to meet the requirements of senescence progression has not been determined. The rate-limiting enzyme in the ethylene biosynthesis pathway is ACC synthase. AtACS7 was previously considered one of the major contributors to the synthesis of "senescence ethylene" in Arabidopsis. However, the "brake signal" that fine-tunes the expression of AtACS7 to ensure optimal...
