- Abstract
A novel cDNA clone encoding a putative EIN3‐like protein (LeEIL4) was identified from ripening tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruit. The predicted amino acid sequence contained conserved domains of EIN3‐like proteins in the N‐terminal half. In phylogenetic analysis, LeEIL4 was classified into the cluster consisting of EIN3 and EIN3‐like proteins known to be involved in ethylene signal transduction. LeEIL4 transcripts accumulated in all tissues examined, with higher levels in ripening fruit.
