Control of ripening.

ABSTRACT :

 

Recent advances in controlling ethylene production, and hence fruit ripening, in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) using reverse genetic approaches are summarized. During the past few years, reversible inhibition of tomato fruit senescence has been accomplished by inhibiting key steps in the ethylene biosynthetic pathway with antisense RNA and by overexpression of a bacterial enzyme. It is suggested that inhibition of ethylene production using reverse genetic approaches may be a general method of preventing spoilage in a variety of fruits and vegetables.
