Abstract

Thirty cDNA clones of genes corresponding to mRNAs up-regulated during fruit ripening of Japanese pear (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai cv. Kikusui) were obtained by differential screening of a ripe fruit cDNA library. All of these cDNAs were sequenced and gathered into 11 non-redundant groups after database searches. These clones represented genes associated with stress responses, protein catabolism or pathogenesis. The accumulation of transcripts of 3 out of 11 genes was inhibited by 1-methylcyclopropene (MCP), an inhibitor of ethylene action.

Key words: Japanese pear, Pyrus pyrifolia, fruit ripening, differential screening, 1-methylcyclopropene (MCP).
