Structural genes isolated from genomic DNA of strawberry plants are disclosed. The DNA coding sequences disclosed encode genes which are highly transcribed in the ripening fruit tissue of Fragaria X ananassa. The expression of these structural genes is regulated by promoters which are also capable of directing tissue-specific expression in transgenic plants. Moreover, these structural gene coding sequences are useful for indirectly identifying tissue-specific promoters, in other plant species, by enabling the identification of the associated, structural gene coding sequences (which are analogous to the disclosed structural sequences) in those plant species.
