Popis:	The expression of genes for ethylene biosynthesis, ethylene perception, and cell wall degradation in the fruit cortex and fruit abscission zone (FAZ) was examined in relation to preharvest fruit abscission (PFA) and fruit ripening in ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Fuji’ apple (Malus ×domestica Borkh.). PFA, fruit ethylene production, and fruit softening increased rapidly during fruit ripening in ‘Golden Delicious’ apples, whereas no PFA, little fruit ethylene, and gradual fruit softening were recorded in ‘Fuji’ apples. The transcript levels of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase genes, MdACS1, MdACS3, and MdACS5A, increased rapidly in the fruit cortex of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples during ripening, but not in ‘Fuji’ apples. However, only the level of MdACS5A mRNA was up-regulated in the FAZ of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples. The transcript level of ACC oxidase gene, MdACO1, increased in the fruit cortex for both cultivars but increased only in the FAZ of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples. Expression of the ethylene receptor genes, MdETR1, MdETR2, MdERS1, and MdERS2, increased in the fruit cortex for both cultivars, but only MdETR2 and MdERS2 increased in the FAZ of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples. The transcript levels of MdPG2, a polygalacturonase gene (PG), and MdEG1, a β-1,4-glucanase gene, markedly increased only in the FAZ of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples, whereas only MdPG1 rapidly increased in the fruit cortex of ‘Golden Delicious’ apples. Our results suggested that MdACS5A, MdACO1, MdPG2, and MdEG1 in the FAZ might be related to the difference in PFA between these two cultivars, whereas MdACS1 and MdPG1 were associated with fruit softening.
