非转基因番茄品种由于β-半乳糖苷酶4的改变而具有增加的收获后保质期

Non-transgenic tomato varieties having increased shelf life post-harvest due to alterations in β-galactosidase 4
Abstract:
The present invention provides a series of independent human-induced, non-transgenic mutations found in at least one tomato β-galactosidase 4 gene, tomato plants having these mutations in at least one of their tomato β-galactosidase 4 genes, and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in the tomato β-galactosidase 4 gene by screening pooled and/or individual tomato plants. Tomato plants identified and produced in accordance with the present invention have fruit that are firmer when ripe with reduced post-harvest softening compared to fruit from wild type tomato plants as a result of non-transgenic mutations in at least one of their tomato β-galactosidase 4 genes.
