Abstract
The present invention provides 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase (ACC synthase) cDNA sequences from papaya fruit. These sequences are useful in regulation of ethylene biosynthesis in papaya cells and in regulating fruit ripening, including delaying of ripening. This is accomplished by co-suppression or by antisense technology. The present invention also provides methods for regulation of fruit ripening.
