ISOLATED NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TOMATO HIGH PIGMENT-1 MUTANT PHENOTYPES (HP-1 AND HP-1W) AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention provides isolated nucleotide sequences responsible for the tomato high pigment 1 (hp-1) and high pigment 1 w (hp-1 w ) phenotypes, wherein said sequences comprises an altered tomato DDB1 gene sequence or fragment thereof, wherein said the alteration in said altered sequence or fragment comprises an A-to-T transversion at nucleotide 931 of said DDB1 gene sequence in the case of hp-1 and a G-to-A transition at nucleotide 2392 of said DDB1 gene sequence in the case of hp-1 w .
