ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to isolates DNA molecules encoding a protein for papaya fruit ripening, DNA constructs, host cells, and transgenic plants comprising the DNA molecules. The invention also relates to methods to promoting or relaying the fruit ripening of papaya plants through transformation of papaya with DNA construct containing the DNA molecules.
