Description
Muhammad Mudasar leads a 2026 genome study of the ACS gene family in papaya, the genes that drive production of ethylene, the ripening hormone. Knowing these genes helps explain fruit ripening, growth, and stress responses in a crop sold worldwide. Computer analysis of a red hermaphrodite papaya variety found seven family members.
Family trees placed the genes in four groups matching the known scheme from a model plant. Gene shapes, shared motifs, and duplication history were mapped, showing the family grew partly through segment copying. Expression data across ripening showed two genes, CpACS5 and CpACS6, switching on strongly, confirmed by targeted lab tests. A third gene acted late in fruit development. Most family members also tied to stress handling. The authors frame the catalogue as a base for breeding and ripening research.
