DNA, DNA CONSTRUCTS, CELLS AND PLANTS DERIVED THEREFROM

摘要

DNA constructs useful for modifying the ripening behaviour of fruit comprise a transcriptional initiation region operative in plants positioned for transcription of a DNA sequence homologous to some or all of a gene encoding cellulase or a like enzyme, said gene showing substantial homology to DNA encoded by either of the constructs TCELB6 and MCELE2. Also plant cells and plants transformed with such constructs.
