Strategies for Ethylene Reduction | Plants
Realising the role of antisense RNA technology in the reduction of ethylene production, a cDNA (pTOM13) encoding ACC oxidase has been isolated from a tomato fruit ripening library. An antisense gene construct from the cDNA strongly inhibited expression of ACC oxidase activÂity in transgenic tomatoes. A chimaeric pTOM13 antisense gene, encodes ACC oxidase consistÂing of 1.3 kilobase (kb) fragment of [...]
