Abstract excerpt
Plants of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. T5) were transformed with an antisense endo-1,4-beta-glucanase (cellulase, EC 3.2.1.4) Cel2 transgene under the control of the constitutive cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter in order to suppress mRNA accumulation of Cel2. In two independent...
