>CS-accD-PSECL | ![]() |
acc deaminase | Pseudomonas chlororaphis | Alteration in growth, development or product quality > Altered ripening or flowering | promotes plant growth by sequestering and cleaving plant-produced ACC, a direct precurser of ethylene, and thereby lowering the level of ethylene in the plant. Among others, ethylene is involved in plant senescence, flowering, fruit ripening, and in the plant's respone to physical and environmental stresses. Expression in transgenic plants leads to decreased ethylene levels, thereby allowing to delay fruit ripening or protect plants from damage caused by pathogens or a wide variety of environmental stresses.

acc synthase, S-adenosyl-L-methionine methylthioadenosine-lyase, acs2 | Dianthus caryophyllus | Alteration in growth, development or product quality > Altered ripening or flowering | is a direct precurser of ethylene; is the rate-limiting reaction in ethylene biosynthesis. Among others, ethylene is involved in plant senescence, fruit ripening and flowering and in the plant's respone to physical and environmental stresses. Park et al. (1992) Mol Biol 18(2):377-386. The insertion of the carnation derived petal-specific acc gene leads to the co-suppression of the autologous carnation acc-synthase genes. This results in a decreased production of ACC synthase in the petals, leading to a reduced ethylene production in the petals and to a retardation of senescence.
