Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect 50 mM NaCl reduced tomato fruit chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect 50 mM NaCl increased tomato carotenoid and lycopene content.
- Intervention effect 50 mM NaCl accelerated tomato color transition.
- Intervention effect NaCl downregulated CAMTA5/SR3.
- Intervention effect SlSR3 knockout accelerated chlorophyll degradation and carotenoid and lycopene accumulation in tomato fruit.
- Intervention effect SlSR3 knockout upregulated PPH, PSY2, PDS and ZDS genes in tomato fruit.
- Intervention effect SlSR3 overexpression had the opposite coloring effect.
- Intervention effect NaCl decreased chlorophyll and increased carotenoids in wild type and OE-sr3 fruit, but not sr3 mutant fruit.
- Intervention effect NaCl upregulated PPH, PSY2, PDS and ZDS in wild type and OE-sr3 fruit, but not sr3 mutant fruit.
- Mechanism SlSR3 directly bound PSY2 and ZDS promoters through its CG-1 domain, downregulating both genes.
- Mechanism NaCl reversed SlSR3 transcriptional inhibition of PSY2 and ZDS, upregulating both.
