DNA, DNA CONSTRUCTS, CELLS AND PLANTS DERIVED THEREFROM

摘要

DNA constructs constructs DNA sequences encoding fruit-ripening-related proteins may be transformed into plants to modify plant characteristics (particularly fruit quality). New DNA sequences are disclosed; cDNA and genomic clones have been deposited; new ripeningrelated promoter sequences may also be obtained. Sense and antisense constructs for plant transformation are described. Genetically modified plants may be used to produce improved fruit and may also be used in breeding programmes to produce hybrid seed.
