Fig. 1: Species bearing climacteric fleshy fruits sustain ethylene synthesis with transcriptional loops involving MADS-type or NAC-type transcription factors, or a combination of both.

Change history

  • 18 October 2018

    In the version of this News & Views originally published, the ripening mode of Prunus persica was incorrectly listed as ‘MADS-type loop’ in Fig. 1, the correct ripening mode is ‘NAC-type loop’. In addition, the authors would like to remove ‘H3K4me’ as a main epigenetic mark in ripening genes for Musa acuminata, Solanum lycopersicum and Prunus persica in Fig. 1, as this marker is common in all species. This figure and caption have now been amended in all versions of the News & Views.
