  • Control of fruit ripening through genetic control of ACC synthase synthesis
    Patent number: 6207881
    Abstract: Recombinant materials for the production of tomato ACC synthase are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 25, 1995
    Date of Patent: March 27, 2001
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Department of Agriculture
    Inventors: Athanasios Theologis, Takahido Sato
  • Control of fruit ripening through genetic control of ACC synthase synthesis
    Patent number: 6156956
    Abstract: ACC synthases of higher plants are coded by multigene families; only certain members of these families are responsible for various plant development characteristics effected by ethylene. Control of the processes in plants which are mediated by ACC synthase, such as fruit ripening, can be effected by controlling expression of the relevant ACC synthase gene. In addition, comparison of the amino acid and nucleotide sequence of the ACC synthases from cucumber and tomato provides consensus sequences that permit the design of PCR primers that permit the isolation of ACC synthases from a variety of higher plants.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 2, 1998
    Date of Patent: December 5, 2000
    Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States Department of Agriculture
