【Fig.1】EPH1 regulates flower longevity of Japanese morning glory

Caption

The morning glory transcription factor EPH1 binds in the vicinity of genes associated with programmed cell death after a certain time after flowering and activates the expression of these genes. The activation of genes associated with programmed cell death induces the degradation of proteins and nucleic acids in the flower cells, resulting in flower wilting.
