DNA methylation plays an important role in fruit ripening and senescence. Here the function of the DNA methylation of CpG island of SlACS10, LeCTR1, LeEIN3, LeERT10 and SlERF-A1 genes induced by heat treatment (37 oC) on postharvest ripening of tomato fruit was studied. After heat treatment, the firmness and vitamin C content showed higher levels, the loss of aldehydes in volatile components was delayed, and the activities of methylase and demethylase were decreased in tomato fruit. Moreover, in the heat treated fruit, significant changes in DNA methylation of SlACS10, LeCTR1, LeEIN3, LeERT10 and SlERF-A1 were induced, the expression of LeERT10 and LeEIN3 was inhibited, the expression of SlERF-A1 was increased, and by which the ethylene signal transmission might be supressed and the postharvest ripening of tomato fruit was delayed. The present study provided valuable information for understanding the essential role of DNA methylation in the postharvest ripening of tomato fruit.
