Insertional inactivation of the tomato polygalacturonase gene.

Plant molecular biology - 1 Nov 1998

Cooley M B, Yoder J I

Abstract excerpt

The site-selected insertion (SSI) procedure was used to generate insertional knockout mutations in the gene for tomato polygalacturonase (PG), a critical enzyme in fruit ripening. Previously, it had been shown that the Dissociation (Ds) elements in a select group of tomato plants frequently inser...
