Cytosolic glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPC) and plastid glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPCp) are key enzymes in glycolysis. Besides their catalytic function, GAPC/GAPCp participates in the regulation of plant stress response and growth and development. However, the involvement of GAPC/GAPCp in the regulation of fruit ripening is unclear. In this study, FaGAPC2 and FaGAPCp1 in strawberries were isolated and analyzed. FaGAPC2 and FaGAPCp1 transcripts showed high transcript levels in the fruit. Transient overexpression of FaGAPC2 and FaGAPCp1 delayed fruit ripening, whereas RNA interference promoted fruit ripening and affected fruit anthocyanins and sucrose levels. Change in the expression patterns of FaGAPC2 and FaGAPCp1 also influenced the expression of several glycolysis-related and ripening-related genes such as CEL1, CEL2, SS, ANS, MYB5, NCED1, ABI1, ALDO, PK, and G6PDH, and H2O2 level and reduced glutathione (GSH)/glutathione disulfide (GSSG) redox potential. Meanwhile, metabolomics experiments showed that transient overexpression of FaGAPCp1 resulted in a decrease in anthocyanins, flavonoids, organic acid, amino acids, and their derivatives. In addition, abscisic acid (ABA) and sucrose treatment induced the production of large amounts of H2O2 and inhibited the expression of FaGAPC2/FaGAPCp1 in strawberry fruit. These results revealed that FaGAPC2/FaGAPCp1 is a negative regulator of ABA and sucrose mediated fruit ripening which can be regulated by oxidative stress.

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators in plant development, but few of them have been functionally characterized in fruit ripening. Here, we have identified 25,613 lncRNAs from strawberry ripening fruits based on RNA-seq data from poly(A)-depleted libraries and rRNA-depleted libraries, most of which exhibited distinct temporal expression patterns. A novel lncRNA, FRILAIR harbours the miR397 binding site that is highly conserved in diverse strawberry species. FRILAIR overexpression promoted fruit maturation in the Falandi strawberry, which was consistent with the finding from knocking down miR397, which can guide the mRNA cleavage of both FRILAIR and LAC11a (encoding a putative laccase-11-like protein). Moreover, LAC11a mRNA levels were increased in both FRILAIR overexpressing and miR397 knockdown fruits, and accelerated fruit maturation was also found in LAC11a overexpressing fruits. Overall, our study demonstrates that FRILAIR can act as a noncanonical target mimic of miR397 to modulate the expression of LAC11a in the strawberry fruit ripening process.

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) fruit ripening is regulated by a complex of cellular signal transduction networks, in which protein kinases are key components. Here, we report a relatively simple method for assaying protein kinase activity in vivo and specifically its application to study the kinase, FaMPK6, signaling in strawberry fruit. Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged FaMPK6 was transiently expressed in strawberry fruit and after stimuli were applied to the fruit it was precipitated using an anti-GFP antibody. The precipitated kinase activity was measured in vitro using 32P-ATP and myelin basic protein (MBP) as substrates. We also report that FaMPK6 is not involved in the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling cascade, which is closely associated with FaMPK6 signaling in other plant species. However, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), low temperature, and high salt treatments were all found to activate FaMPK6. Transient manipulation of FaMPK6 expression was observed to cause significant changes in the expression patterns of 2749 genes, of which 264 were associated with MeJA signaling. The data also suggest a role for FaMPK6 in modulating cell wall metabolism during fruit ripening. Taken together, the presented method is powerful and its use will contribute to a profound exploration to the signaling mechanism of strawberry fruit ripening.
