The role of ethylene in non-climacteric ripening is not clear yet. The objective of our experiments was to isolate genes involved in ethylene biosynthe sis and signal transduction in strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa), a nonclimacteric fruit. For this purpose, RT-PCR was used on RNA templates derived from different parts of strawberry plants (young and old leaves, runners and runner tips), fruits of four ripening stages and ripe fruits diseased by Botrytis cinerea.
