  • Tomatoes That Soften More Slowly Post-Harvest Due To Non-Transgenic Alterations In An Expansin Gene
    Publication number: 20110113507
    Abstract: A series of independent human-induced non-transgenic mutations found in an expansin gene (LeExp1) of tomato; tomato plants having these mutations in their LeExp1 genes; and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in the LeExp1 gene by screening pooled and/or individual tomato plants. The tomato plants of the present invention exhibit fruit that soften more slowly post-harvest without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes.
