  • Tomatoes that soften more slowly post-harvest due to non-transgenic alterations in an expansin gene
    Patent number: 9399772
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 12, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 26, 2016
    Assignee: Arcadia Biosciences, Inc.
    Inventors: Trenton G. Colbert, Susan R. Hurst, Ann J. Slade, Dayna L. Loeffler

  • Tomatoes having reduced polygalacturonase activity caused by non-transgenic mutations in the polygalacturonase gene
    Patent number: 7928298
    Abstract: A series of independent non-transgenic mutations found in the fruit PG gene of tomato; tomato plants having these mutations in their fruit PG gene; and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in the PG gene by screening pooled and/or individual tomato plants. The tomato plants of the present invention exhibit reduced PG enzyme activity and fruit that soften more slowly post harvest without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes.
