Abstract

Ethylene controls fruit ripening. During the past few years, reversible inhibition of tomato fruit senescence has been accomplished by inhibiting key steps in the ethylene biosynthetic pathway with antisense RNA and by overexpression of a bacterial enzyme. The prospect arises that inhibition of ethylene production using reverse genetic approaches may be a general method of preventing spoilage in a variety of fruits and vegetables.
