NEW PLANTS WITH MODIFIED EXPRESSION OR ACTIVITY OF ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTORS

摘要

The present invention concerns a Solanacea plant, having a genetic alteration in the regulatory or in the coding sequence of a gene encoding an Ethylene Responsive Factor (ERF), said ERF being a functional homologous of the sequences SEQ ID NO 1 or SEQ ID NO 2, wherein said genetic alteration confers at least one of the following properties to the Solanaceae plant: resistance to insects, modified internodes length, modified ripening time, and modified fruit shelf-life.
