Silencing of the phytoene desaturase (PDS) gene affects the expression of fruit-ripening genes in tomatoes

Abstract Background Past research has shown that virus-induced phytoene desaturase (PDS) gene silencing via agroinjection in the attached and detached fruit of tomato plants results in a pale-yellow fruit phenotype. Although the PDS gene is often used as a marker for gene silencing in tomatoes, litt...
