Abstract:

The abscisic acid(ABA)receptor Pyrabactin resistance 1/PYR1-Like/Regulatory component of ABA receptor(PYR/PYL/RCAR,PYL)is an essential component of the ABA signaling pathway,responsible for regulating various physiological processes in plants such as growth,development,and stress responses. In this study,a total of 11 and 14 PYL genes were identified in sweet orange[Citrus sinensis(L.)Osbeck]and Clementine mandarin(C. clementina Hort. ex Tan.),respectively. Through phylogenetic analysis,citrus PYL genes were categorized into three distinct subfamilies. The expression patterns of citrus PYL genes showed tissue-specific characteristics and diverse responses to external hormone treatments. The results of molecular genetic experiments further confirmed that CrPYL9 positively regulates fruit maturation and color change,providing new insights into the mechanism of ABA-mediated regulation of non-climacteric fruit maturation.

Key words: Citrus, abscisic acid receptor, gene family, fruit maturation
