Tomato () has become a model for the study of fleshy fruits. Comprehending the regulatory mechanisms of fleshy fruit ripening is important. Transcription factors (TFs), hormones, and epigenetic regulation mainly regulate tomato fruit ripening, and the initiation of ripening requires ethylene and ripening-related TFs, such as NAC, MADS-box, RIN, GH3, HD-ZIP, and basic helix-loop-helix. In this review, we summarize recent research progress on these TFs in the regulation of tomato fruit ripening and highlight the crosstalk mechanisms of ethylene and ripening-related TFs. By affecting ethylene synthesis and signaling, TFs regulate softening and color changes in tomato fruits, thereby influencing fruit quality. Our review contributes to a systematic understanding of the regulatory mechanisms of tomato fruit ripening and provides a basis for developing or modeling complex ripening regulatory networks.

番茄果实成熟过程中与成熟相关的转录因子：与乙烯的串扰


番茄（）已成为研究肉质水果的典范。了解肉质果实成熟的调控机制很重要。转录因子(TF)、激素和表观遗传调控主要调控番茄果实成熟，而成熟的启动需要乙烯和成熟相关的转录因子，如NAC、MADS-box、RIN、GH3、HD-ZIP和碱性螺旋-环螺旋。在这篇综述中，我们总结了这些转录因子在番茄果实成熟调控中的最新研究进展，并重点介绍了乙烯和成熟相关转录因子的串扰机制。通过影响乙烯合成和信号传导，转录因子调节番茄果实的软化和颜色变化，从而影响果实品质。我们的综述有助于系统地了解番茄果实成熟的调控机制，并为开发或建模复杂的成熟调控网络提供基础。
