Developer:
DNA Plant Technology Corporation (USA)

Method of Trait Introduction:
Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated plant transformation

GM Trait s :
Delayed ripening/senescence , Antibiotic resistance

Commercial Trait:
(Singular)  Modified Product Quality

Summary of Basic Genetic Modification

Gene Introduced	Gene Source	Product	Function
acc (truncated)	Lycopersicon esculentum	modified transcript of 1-amino-cyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase gene	suppresses the normal expression of the native ACC synthase gene, resulting in reduced ethylene production and delayed fruit ripening
nptII  *	Escherichia coli Tn5 transposon	neomycin phosphotransferase II enzyme	allows transformed plants to metabolize neomycin and kanamycin antibiotics during selection

 * : Selection Marker/Reporter  

Summary of Regulatory Approvals: Country, Year and Type of Approval

Country	Food direct use or processing	Feed direct use or processing	Cultivation domestic or non-domestic use
Canada
Mexico
United States
