Down-regulation of tomato beta-galactosidase 4 results in decreased fruit softening.

Plant physiology - 1 Aug 2002

Smith David L, Abbott Judith A, Gross Kenneth C

Abstract excerpt

Transcript abundance of the gene encoding beta-galactosidase II, a beta-galactosidase/exo-galactanase (EC 3.2.1.23) present during tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) fruit ripening, was suppressed by expression of an antisense tomato beta-galactosidase 4 (TBG4) cDNA driven by the cauliflower mosaic...
