The transgenic line alel containing antisense LeER T1 displayed shorter length of seedling grown in the dark and adult plant in the light, severe epinastic petiole, and accelerated abscission of petiole explant and senescence of flower explant, compared with its wild type B 1. The transgenic line ale2 containing antisense LeERT2 also exhibited shorter hypocotyls and slightly accelerated abscission. The phenotypes of cross line dale of LeERT1 and LeERT2 were close to alel in many aspects. These results suggested that LeERT1 probably plays a relatively important role in ethylene signaling of tomato growth and development.展开更多

However, there are few reports on ethylene receptors in soybean. In this article, putative ethylene receptors of soybean were searched from soybean genomic database （http：//www.phytozome.net/search.php） and analyzed. The ethylene receptor gene family in soybean comprising eight members, designated as GmERSI-1, GmERS1-2, GmETRI-1, GmETR1-2, GmETR2-1, GmETR2-2, GmEIN4-1, and GmEIN4-2 corresponding with their homologous genes in drabidopsis, were isolated and analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the eight soybean ethylene receptors （SERs） were in two subfamilies and further divided into four groups, viz., groups I （GmERSI-1 and GmERS1-2）, 1I （GmETRI-1 and GmETR1-2）, VI （GmETR2-I and GmETR2-2）, and VII （GmEIN4-1 and GmEIN4-2）. Protein structure of the members in groups I and II from subfamily I were more conserved than the members in other two groups from subfamily II. Expression patterns of the SERs were compared with the homologous genes in Arabidopsis. The results demonstrated that expression patterns of the SERs differed from Arabidopsis members in the same group, suggesting that SERs are involved in different signal pathways compared to ethylene receptors in drabidopsis. Promoter analysis showed that the sequences of the members in each group were different from each other, and some specific binding elements of transcription factors detected in promoter sequences might explain the differences between the members in the same group. A novel soybean TPR protein （tetratricopeptide repeat protein）, GmTPR, was identified to interact with GmETRI-1, apparently an important ethylene receptor in ethylene signaling pathway in soybean. This suggested that GmTPR might be a novel downstream component of the ethylene signaling pathway.展开更多
