Abstract
ETP1 and ETP2 bind to EIN2 and modulate plant ethylene sensitivity.
Claims10
A plant comprising a heterologous recombinant expression cassette, wherein the plant has altered sensitivity to ethylene compared to a control plant lacking the expression cassette, the expression cassette comprising a promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide, which polynucleotide, when expressed, increases expression of an ETP1 or ETP2 polypeptide compared to a control plant lacking the expression cassette, wherein increased expression of the ETP1 or ETP2 polypeptide results in reduced ethylene sensitivity compared to the control plant, and wherein said polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide, which polypeptide
- is an F-box protein;
- and
- binds to EIN2.
A plant comprising a heterologous recombinant expression cassette, wherein the plant has altered sensitivity to ethylene compared to a control plant lacking the expression cassette, the expression cassette comprising a promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide, which polynucleotide, when expressed, decreases expression of an ETP1 or ETP2 polypeptide compared to a control plant lacking the expression cassette, wherein decreased expression of the ETP1 or ETP2 polypeptide results in increased ethylene sensitivity compared to the control plant, and wherein said ETP1 or ETP2 polypeptide is an F-box protein and binds to EIN2.
