Invention: DNA clone encoding an ethylene-forming enzyme, constructs, plant cells and plants based thereon

Year	Description
1993	Invention patented by Colin R. Bird, John A. Ray, and Wolfgang W. Schuch on August 1st, 1993. Abstract: DNA clones, e.g. M13-1, comprising at least part of a gene derived from melon that encodes ethylene-forming enzyme. Such clones may comprise DNA constructs including plant promoters capable of expressing RNA in plant cells. Such constructs may be used to inhibit production of ethylene-forming enzyme in transformed plants, and thereby to produce slower-ripening fruit, particularly melons. The clones may be obtained by PCR using specific oligo-nucleotide primers.
