Fig. S1 Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of papaya fruit CpEIN2 and their respective homologs ArPEIN2 (NP 195948.1) from Arabidopsis thaliana, VvEIN2 (XP 002276399.1) from Vitis vinifera, and PpEIN2 (ACY78397.1) from Prunus persica. Conserved residues were shaded in blue. Eleven putative transmembrane domains close to the N-terminus were in the box.

Fig. S2 Multiple alignment of amino acid sequences of two papaya EIN3(CpEIN3aand CpEIN3b) and papaya EIN3homologous (CpEIL1). Conserved residues were shaded in blue. Box regions were designate the acidic region (AD), proline-rich region (PR), and five small clusters of basic amino acids (BD І～Ⅴ).

Fig. S3 Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequence of two papaya EBFs(CpEBF1and CpEBF2) and their respective homologs PtEBF3 /4 (xp002308665; xp002308982) from Populous trichocarpa, MtEBF(xp003588766) from Medicago truncatula,FvEBF1(xp004287307) from Fragaria vesca. Conserved residues were shaded in blue. The putative F-box motif was included in the rectangle, and the 18 deduced leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) were in the box.
