Identification of the factors involved in the regulation of senescence and the analysis of their function are important for both a biological understanding of the senescence mechanism and the improvement of agricultural productivity. In this study, we identified an <i>ERF</i> gene termed <i>"ERF gene conferring Postharvest longevity Improvement 1</i>" (EPI1) as a possible regulator of senescence in <i>Arabidopsis</i>. We found that EPI1 possesses transcriptional repression activity and that the ...[more]
