摘要

PCT No. PCT/US96/17351 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 6, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 6, 1998 PCT Filed Oct. 25, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO97/15678 PCT Pub. Date May 1, 1997This invention relates to methods for the expression of sucrose phosphate synthase encoding sequences alone or in cooperation with sugar metabolizing enzyme sequences to modify the soluble solids in plant fruit tissue. Depending on whether sense or antisense sequences are used, the method permits an increased or decreased sweetness in plant fruit tissue, such as tomato fruit.
