| Research Abstract |
Transient RNA silencing technique was suggested to be possible in developing grape berry. When tomato is used as model plant for screening of fruit ripening-associated genes, AP3, TM6, AGL1, GRAS were assumed to be involved in ripening. Involvements of these genes in ripening of grape berry were investigated using the transient RNA silencing technique, although their involvements were not clear. It is suggested that the transient RNA silencing technique would be useful for analysis of ripening-associated genes in grape in future and that deeper investigation of function of these genes for fruit ripening will provide new insight into the study for fruit physiology.
