ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to DNA constructs which include DNA molecules which affect papaya fruit ripening and DNA molecules which encode papaya ringspot virus coat protein. The present invention further relates to a method of controlling papaya fruit ripening while conferring resistance to Papaya Ringspot Virus by transforming plants with the DNA construct. The present invention also relates to expression systems, host cells, and transgenic plants containing the DNA constructs of the invention.
