Abstract excerpt
Fruit ripening is one of the most dramatic developmental transitions associated with extensive alteration in gene expression. The plant hormone ethylene is considered to be the causative ripening agent. Transgenic tomato plants were constructed expressing antisense or sense RNA to the key enzyme...
