Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
anti-efe	Lycopersicon esculentum	antisense RNA of 1-amino-cyclopropane -1-carboxylate oxidase (ACO) gene (no functional ACO enzyme is produced)	causes delayed ripening by suppressing the production of ethylene via silencing of the ACO gene that encodes an ethylene-forming enzyme
