Characterization of a ripening-related transcription factor FcNAC1 from Fragaria chiloensis fruit

Abstract Fragaria chiloensis is a strawberry endemic from Chile with attractive white-pink fruit, pleasant aroma and taste. However, this fruit has a limited post-harvest period due to fast softening. Several transcription factors (TFs) are involved in the regulation of fruit ripening, and members o...
