Abstract

Renewed funding of this BBSRC group is requested for research on ethylene signalling and gene control during ripening in tomato. The programme involves protein interaction cloning, tests of functional significance of novel receptor-interacting and downstream components in transgenic plants, pre-ethylene events in ripening control, and translational control of enzyme synthesis. The longer term nature of the research and the value of integrating physiology and biochemistry with molecular biology is emphasised.
