Abstract
The present invention relates to cultivated plant of the species Solanum lycopersicum comprising a acs2 allele having one or more mutations, said mutations resulting in production of a mutant acs2 protein having loss-of-function acs2 protein or reduced function compared to wild type Acs2 protein.
Claims22
A plant, fruit, seed, or part thereof of the species Solanum lycopersicum comprising an acs2 allele having one or more mutations, said mutations resulting in production of a mutant acs2 protein, wherein said mutant acs2 protein has one or more amino acids comprising A101V or V147E, the amino acid positions corresponding to SEO ID NO:
- 1,
- wherein said one or more mutations results in reduced ethylene production and/or delayed fruit ripening and/or a longer shelf life compared to Solanum lycopersicum being homozygous for the wild type Acs2 allele encoding a wild type Acs2 protein, said wild type Acs2 protein comprises at least 95% amino acid sequence identity to SEO ID NO:
- 1.
