  • METHYLKETONE SYNTHASE, PRODUCTION OF METHYLKETONES IN PLANTS AND BACTERIA
    Publication number: 20110289632
    Abstract: Isolated genes and amino acid sequences encode methylketone synthase 2 (MKS2) enzymes from tomato plants, including, ShMKS2 and SlMKS2. When expressed recombinantly in bacteria and other host cells, the MKS2 enzymes produce methylketones of various carbon chain lengths ranging from C7 to C20 from 3-ketoacyl intermediate substrates. Methylketones are known to have important roles in protecting plants against pests, and also as flavor compounds, and can be used as stockfeed in the chemical industry.

  • Cultivated tomato plant having increased brix value and method of producing same
    Patent number: 7235719
    Abstract: A cultivated tomato plant having a genome including an introgression derived from a green-fruited tomato, the green-fruited tomato being characterized by fruits having a brix value above 5 brix units, the introgression including a portion of chromosome 9 of the green-fruited tomato, the portion extending telomerically to a point so as to exclude from the portion an allele of the green-fruited tomato being responsible for an undesired trait selected from the group consisting of higher percent green fruit yield and longer internodes characterizing the green-fruited tomato as is compared to the cultivated tomato plant, the introgression inherently increasing by at least 6% a brix value characterizing fruits of the cultivated tomato plant as is compared to a nearly isogenic tomato plant lacking the introgression.
