ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides tomato plants exhibiting a delayed ripening phenotype. The plants of the invention comprise a T-DNA insert comprising a first sequence of from about nucleotide 149 to about nucleotide 1237 of a tomato Acc synthase gene and two inverted repeats of the first sequence. Integration of the T-DNA insert into the plant genome inhibits ethylene biosynthesis in the fruit.
