Abstract:

A series of independent non-transgenic mutations found in the fruit PG gene of tomato; tomato plants having these mutations in their fruit PG gene; and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in the PG gene by screening pooled and/or individual tomato plants.

800284000, 800317400, 435191000

Abstract:

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.

Abstract:

A series of independent human-induced non-transgenic mutations found in an expansin gene (LeExp1) of tomato; tomato plants having these mutations in their LeExp1 genes; and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in the LeExp1 gene by screening pooled and/or individual tomato plants. The tomato plants of the present invention exhibit fruit that soften more slowly post-harvest without having the inclusion of foreign nucleic acids in their genomes.

US Classification:

426615, 8003174, 536 232, 435 6

Abstract:

The present invention provides a series of independent human-induced, non-transgenic mutations found in at least one tomato β-galactosidase 4 gene, tomato plants having these mutations in at least one of their tomato β-galactosidase 4 genes, and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in the tomato β-galactosidase 4 gene by screening pooled and/or individual tomato plants. Tomato plants identified and produced in accordance with the present invention have fruit that are firmer when ripe with reduced post-harvest softening compared to fruit from wild type tomato plants as a result of non-transgenic mutations in at least one of their tomato β-galactosidase 4 genes.

Abstract:

A series of independent human-induced, non-transgenic mutations found in at least one non-ripening (NOR) gene of tomato; tomato plants having these mutations in at least one of their NOR genes; and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in the NOR gene by screening pooled and/or individual tomato plants. The tomato plants of the present invention exhibit fruit that ripen more slowly, rot more slowly, are firmer, and have a longer shelf life post-harvest as a result of non-transgenic mutations in at least one of their NOR genes.
