• Sequencing and annotation of the evergrowing locus in peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] reveals a cluster of six MADS-box transcription factors as candidate genes for regulation of terminal bud formation (2008, neutral): “Several examples of pairs of MADS-box genes in a tandem arrangement have been described, but larger groups appear to be rare, although this may simply be a function of limited genome data (Theissen et al. 1995; Vrebalov et al. 2002; Parenicova et al. 2003; Moore et al. 2005).”
• Ethylene biosynthesis and action in tomato: a model for climacteric fruit ripening. (2002, background): “Fruit from the ripening inhibitor (rin) mutant do not show autocatalytic ethylene production (Herner and Sink, 1973) and cannot transmit the ethylene signal downstream to ripening genes due to a mutation in the RIN transcription factor (Vrebalov et al., 2002).”
• A naturally occurring epigenetic mutation in a gene encoding an SBP-box transcription factor inhibits tomato fruit ripening (2006, background): “Recently, however, it has become apparent that other developmental cues are essential for ripenin”
• Genetics and control of tomato fruit ripening and quality attributes. (2011, background): “The rin locus encodes a MADSbox transcription factor termed RIN-MADS, which is induced at the onset of ripening (78).”
• Recent advances in ethylene research. (2009, background): “As discussed above, another HD-Zip protein, LeHB-1, stimulates ethylene synthesis by activating transcription of LeACO1 whereas RIN activates LeACS2.”
• Genetic Regulation of Fruit Development and Ripening (2004, background): “Furthermore, mining of the tomato EST collection yielded an additional LeCTR1-like gene, and a third was recovered from a library screen using LeCTR1 cDNA as a probe.”
• A High Quality Draft Consensus Sequence of the Genome of a Heterozygous Grapevine Variety (2007, background): “Mutation at rin locus caused a failure in the normal ripening physiology [73].”
• An Evaluation of A‐Function: Evidence from the APETALA1 and APETALA2 Gene Lineages (2007, background): “For instance, LeMADS_MC (Vrebalov et al. 2002) and LIP1/2 (Keck et al. 2003) show loss only of sepal identity.”
