  • DELAYED FRUIT DETERIORATION ALLELE IN PLANTS AND METHODS OF DETECTION
    Publication number: 20150322537
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence at least 90% identical to a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:4, where the protein as an aspartic acid (Asp) at amino acid position 106. The present invention also relates to a transgenic plant with reduced or delayed softening and deterioration of fruit compared to wild-type plants, methods of genetic screening for plants having reduced or delayed softening and deterioration of fruit, isolated oligonucleotides, and a method of imparting to a plant the dfd trait.

  • Polypeptides having carotenoids isomerase catalytic activity, nucleic acids encoding same and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20050022269
    Abstract: An isolated nucleic acid which comprises a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence at least 50%, similar to SEQ ID NO: 15 (carotenoid isomerase of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum)), as determined using the Standard protein-protein BLAST [blastp] software of the NCBI, the polypeptide having carotenoids isomerase catalytic activity, the polypeptide encoded thereby and their uses.
