Antisense suppression of a beta-galactosidase gene (TB G6) in tomato increases fruit cracking.

Journal of experimental botany - 1 Sept 2003

Moctezuma Edgar, Smith David L, Gross Kenneth C

Abstract excerpt

Antisense suppression of a tomato beta-galactosidase gene (TBG6) was used to study its role in fruit development, cell wall-modification, and fruit firmness. TBG6 mRNA is highly abundant during the early stages of fruit development, but the levels decline sharply after the breaker stage with the start of the respiratory climacteric and a concomitant increase in ethylene production. Two antisense lines were...
