Abstract

The use of AdoMetase to reduce ethylene biosynthesis in plants is facilitated by the exploitation of the tissue and stage specific properties of the E4 promoter from tomato. The E4 promoter, isolated from tomato or other plants by methods described herein, provides a useful regulatable promoter for the expression of a variety of heterologous genes, including the AdoMetase gene.
