Abstract  The ethylene response factors (ERFs) belong to the APETALA2/ethylene response factor (AP2/ERF) superfamily and act downstream of the ethylene signalling pathway to regulate the expression of ethylene responsive genes. In different species, ERFs have been reported to be involved in plant development, flower abscission, fruit ripening, and defense responses. In this review, based on the new progress made by recent studies, we summarize the specific role and mode of action of ERFs in regulating different aspects of ripening in both climacteric and non-climacteric fruits, and provide new insights into the role of ethylene in non-climacteric fruit ripening.

乙烯反应因子在果实成熟中的作用

乙烯反应因子(ERFs)属于APETALA2/ethylene-response-factor(AP2/ERF)超家族,在乙烯信号转导途径下游起调节乙烯反应基因表达的作用。在不同的物种中,乙烯反应因子被报道参与植物发育、花脱落、果实成熟和防御反应。本文在综述近年来研究进展的基础上,总结了乙烯反应因子在调节跃变型和非跃变型果实成熟过程不同方面的具体作用及其作用方式,并对乙烯在非跃变型果实成熟过程中的作用提出了新的见解。
