Plants with resistance to glyphosate are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the disclosure relate to human induced non-transgenic mutations in the EPSPS gene in plants.

Wheat having resistance to glyphosate due to alterations in 5-enol- pyruvylshikimate-3 phosphate synthase

Wheat having resistance to glyphosate DUe to alterations in 5-enol-pyruvylshikimate-3 phosphate synthase

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.

Non-transgenic tomato varieties having increased shelf life post-harvest

The present invention provides a series of independent human-induced, non-transgenic mutations found in at least one tomato &#x3b2;-galactosidase 4 gene, tomato plants having these mutations in at least one of their tomato &#x3b2;-galactosidase 4 genes, and a method of creating and identifying similar and/or additional mutations in the tomato &#x3b2;-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 &#x3b2;-galactosidase 4 genes.

Non-transgenic tomato varieties having increased shelf life post-harvest due to alterations in &#x3b2;-galactosidase 4
