Proposed model for the role of FaMRLK47 in the regulation of strawberry fruit development and ripening. Acting as a negative signal, FaMRLK47 delays fruit ripening most probably by modifying the ABA signaling pathway. Furthermore, FaMRLK47 functions to regulate sugar metabolism, thereby regulating fruit quality formation in an ABA-independent pathway. Given the pivotal role of CrRLK1-related receptor kinases in the control of cell growth and the unique profile of FaMRLK47 expression during fruit development and ripening, FaMRLK47 is also expected to regulate early fruit growth and development.
