Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a transcription factor gene that plays a key role in Solanaceae fruit ripening. Plants overexpressing the gene have fruits with deeper pigmentation and ripen more rapidly than controls. The invention also relates to transgenic plants comprising said gene, and methods of making said plants.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of manipulating the speed of ripening or the pigment content of a pepper fruit produced by a pepper plant by genetically modifying a pepper APPR2 gene of SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 14 in said pepper plant, the method comprising: (a) generating by TILLING variant gene products of a pepper APPR2 gene of SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 14 in a plurality of pepper plants to produce a plurality of genetically modified pepper plants; and (b) selecting a pepper plant from the plurality of genetically modified pepper plants of a) with a decreased speed of ripening or decreased pigment content in pepper fruits produced by said plant as compared with a pepper plant having the pepper APPR2 gene of SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 14, thereby manipulating the speed of ripening or the pigment content of a pepper fruit produced by said genetically modified pepper plant. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein variant gene products are generated by TILLING of a pepper APPR2 gene of SEQ ID NO: 14.
