Abstract
Process for the inhibition of the production of a gene product in a plant cell which comprises generating in the cell while the gene product is being expressed mRNA from recombinant DNA coding for part only of the gene product: also constructs for use in the process, and cells and plants that carry out the process. Specifically applicable to control of fruit ripening, in particular in tomatoes.
Claims8
A process for modifying the production of a target gene product in a plant cell which comprises transforming the plant cell with a construct comprising a recombinant DNA sequence coding for only part of the target gene product wherein said target gene product is a fruit ripening enzyme.
