The key enzyme of ethylene biosynthesis, ACC synthase, is encoded by a multigene family. We describe three new DNA sequences encoding members of the ACC synthase family of the tomato. One of these sequences encodes a novel ACC synthase, LE-ACS6, which is phylogenetically related to the ACC synthases...
