TOMATOES HAVING REDUCED DEOXYHYPUSINE SYNTHASE ACTIVITY CAUSED BY NON-TRANSGENIC ALTERATIONS IN A DEOXYHYPUSINE SYNTHASE GENE

A series of independent non-transgenic mutations found in at least one deoxyhypusine synthase gene of tomato; tomato plants having these mutations in one or more of their deoxyhypusine synthase genes; and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in a deoxyhypusine syn...

More Information
Summary:A series of independent non-transgenic mutations found in at least one deoxyhypusine synthase gene of tomato; tomato plants having these mutations in one or more of their deoxyhypusine synthase genes; and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in a deoxyhypusine synthase gene by screening pooled and/or individual tomato plants. The tomato plants of the present invention exhibit altered deoxyhypusine synthase activity and delayed post harvest softening of their tomato fruit without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes. Novel nucleotide and protein sequences for deoxyhypusine synthases in tomato and their uses. Cette invention concerne : une série de mutations non transgéniques indépendantes observé dans au moins un gène désoxyhypusine synthase de la tomate; des plants de tomate présentant ces mutations dans un ou plusieurs de leurs gènes de désoxyhypusine synthase; et une méthode permettant de créer et d'identifier des mutations et/ou supplémentaires dans un gène de désoxyhypusine synthase par criblage de plants de tomates regroupés ou individuels. Les plants de tomate de la présente invention présente une activité désoxyhypusine synthase modifiée et un ramollissement post-cueillette différée de leurs fruits sans inclusion d'acides nucléiques étrangers dans leur génome. Sont décrites des séquences de nucléotides et de protéines pour les désoxyhypusine synthases de la tomate et leurs utilisations.
