Abstract excerpt
RIPENING INHIBITOR (RIN) is a transcription factor with transcriptional activator activity that plays a major role in regulating fruit ripening in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Recent studies have revealed that (1) RIN is indispensable for full ripening but not for the induction of ripening; and (2) the rin mutation, which produces nonripening fruits that never turn red or soften, is not a null mutation but...
