In one of the last year October issue of Science was a paper of the Theologis group
at the Plant Expression Center in San Francisco, who constructed Plasmids containing
anti-sense DNA for the Ethylene Synthase. Transformed tomatoes stayed green for about
200 days. After exposing to ethylene they riped immediately.
