α-Farnesene, a sesquiterpene volatile compound plays an important role in plant defense and is known to be associated with insect attraction and with superficial scald of apple and pear fruits during cold storage. But the mechanism whereby transcription factors regulate apple α-farnesene biosynthesis has not been clarified. Here, we report that two transcription factors, MdMYC2 and MdERF3 regulated α-farnesene biosynthesis in apple fruit. Dual-luciferase assays and Y1H assays indicated that MdMY ...[more]
