ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for making fruit (particularly tomatoes) having increased solids content which comprises cultivating fruit-bearing plants in which expression of genes homologous to pTOM36 is at least partially inhibited. For this purpose the fruit may be transformed with DNA constructs comprising a DNA sequence homologous to some or all of the gene encoded by the clone pTOM36. The clone is adapted to generate sense or antisense RNA under control of a plant promoter.
