  • Banana MADS-Box Genes for Banana Ripening Control
    Publication number: 20130036515
    Abstract: The ripening of banana fruit may be delayed or suppressed by use of a DNA construct comprising a silencing nucleic acid sequence which is effective for significantly reducing or eliminating the expression of MaMADS1 or MaMADS2 or both in the fruit. The silencing nucleic acid sequence in this construct is operatively linked to a promoter effective for expression in the fruit. The fruit of plants transformed with this construct exhibit significantly delayed ripening in comparison to fruit from non-transformed plants.
