The reason good color is linked with less sugar and nutrients is that these light-green fruits contain fewer and lower-quality chloroplasts - the biological machinery responsible for photosynthesis and, ultimately, sugar production, said Cornell's James Giovannoni, one of the new paper's authors.

Ripening Inhibition In The Tomato Mutant Results From Ectopic Expression Of A Novel Protein Which Disrupts Ethylene Signal Transduction

US Patent:

7947867, May 24, 2011

Filed:

May 26, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/442028

Inventors:

James Giovannoni - Ithaca NY, US
Cornelius S. Barry - Haslett MI, US

Assignee:

The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture - Washington DC

International Classification:

C12N 15/29
C12N 15/82
C12N 5/04
A01H 5/00
A01H 5/10

US Classification:

800278, 800298, 800287, 8003174, 800290, 4353201, 435410, 435419, 536 236

Abstract:

To achieve full development of the ripe phenotype, climacteric fruits, such as tomato, apple and banana, require synthesis, perception and signal transduction of the plant hormone ethylene. The non-ripening phenotype of the dominant Green-ripe (Gr) and Never-ripe 2 (Nr-2) mutants of tomato is the result of reduced ethylene responsiveness in fruit tissues. In addition a subset of ethylene responses associated with floral senescence, abscission and root elongation are also impacted in mutant plants but to a lesser extent. Using positional cloning we have identified an identical 334 by deletion in a gene of unknown biochemical function residing at the Gr/Nr-2 locus. Consistent with a dominant gain of function mutation, this deletion causes ectopic expression of GR/NR-2, which in turn leads to ripening inhibition. A CaMV35:GR transgene recreates the Gr/Nr-2 mutant phenotype but does not lead to a global reduction in ethylene responsiveness suggesting tissue-specific modulation of ethylene responses in tomato. GR/NR-2 encodes a novel evolutionary conserved membrane localized protein of unknown biochemical function that has not previously been associated with ethylene signaling.

Banana Mads-Box Genes For Banana Ripening Control

US Patent:

2013003, Feb 7, 2013

Filed:

Aug 3, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/565973

Inventors:

James J. Giovannoni - Ithaca NY, US
Haya Friedman - Rehorot, IL
Julia Vrebalov - Ithaca NY, US
Tomer Elitzur - Doar Na Mercaz, IL

International Classification:

A01H 5/00
A01H 5/08
C12N 15/82

US Classification:

800286, 800278, 800298, 4353201

Abstract:

The ripening of banana fruit may be delayed or suppressed by use of a DNA construct comprising a silencing nucleic acid sequence which is effective for significantly reducing or eliminating the expression of MaMADS1 or MaMADS2 or both in the fruit. The silencing nucleic acid sequence in this construct is operatively linked to a promoter effective for expression in the fruit. The fruit of plants transformed with this construct exhibit significantly delayed ripening in comparison to fruit from non-transformed plants.
