However, our understanding of the development and function of these internal structures remains limited. In this study, we identified a plant-specific YABBY protein, SlYABBY2a, in the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). SlYABBY2a exhibits relatively high expression levels among the nine YABBY genes in tomatoes and shows specific expression in the septum of the fruit. Through the use of a gene-editing technique performed by CRISPR\/Cas9, we noticed defects in septum development in the Slyabby2a mutant fruits, leading to the inward concavity of the fruit pericarp and delayed septum ripening. Notably, the expression levels of key genes involved in auxin (SlFZY4, SlFZY5, and SlFZY6) and ethylene (SlACS2) biosynthesis were significantly downregulated in the septum of the Slalkbh10b mutants. Furthermore, the promoter activity of SlYABBY2a was regulated by the ripening regulator, SlTAGL1, in vivo. In summary, these discoveries provide insights into the positive regulation of SlYABBY2a on septum development and ripening and furnish evidence of the coordinated regulation of the auxin and ethylene signaling pathways in the ripening process, which expands our comprehension of septum development in the internal structure of the fruit.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25105206","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,14]],"date-time":"2024-05-14T08:03:08Z","timestamp":1715673788000},"page":"5206","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["The YABBY Transcription Factor, SlYABBY2a, Positively Regulates Fruit Septum Development and Ripening in Tomatoes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1082-0155","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hui","family":"Shen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Tomato, Bioengineering College, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400030, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Vegetable Biology of Yunnan Province, College of Landscape and Horticulture, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Baobing","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Tomato, Bioengineering College, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400030, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingfeng","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Vegetable Biology of Yunnan Province, College of Landscape and Horticulture, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haojun","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Vegetable Biology of Yunnan Province, College of Landscape and Horticulture, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8157-4687","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guoping","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Tomato, Bioengineering College, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400030, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhengan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Vegetable Biology of Yunnan Province, College of Landscape and Horticulture, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zongli","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Tomato, Bioengineering College, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400030, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ting","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Molecular Biology of Tomato, Bioengineering College, Chongqing University, Chongqing 400030, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2023, December 20).
