An overview of tomato fruit-ripening mutants and their use in increasing shelf life of tomato fruits

Abstract: The potential of tomato ripening mutants; rin, nor, alc, nr, gr, etc to prolong the shelf life of tomato cannot be overemphasized. Ripening mutants have gained a considerable attention in the last few years to extend shelf life. They have been characterized and examined for their potential utilization in lengthening shelf life of tomatoes. Mutant genes are therefore available to extend the shelf-life of tomato via breeding. These single recessive gene mutants mostly modify ethylene's downstream effects on spec… Show more

“…The nor and rin mutants have been utilized in breeding for developing tomato hybrids with extended shelf life or extended field harvest depending on their purpose for the fresh market and processing tomato industries (Kopeliovitch et al, 1979;Kitagawa et al, 2005;Garg et al, 2008;Osei et al, 2017). Hybrids between elite varieties and the ripening mutants have a delayed ripening progression, but with the tradeoff of decreased fruit quality attributes, such as color, taste, and aroma (Kitagawa et al, 2005;Tieman et al, 2017).…”

“…Because of their wide-ranging effect in other ripening-related processes, these mutations are also tools to breed for extended fruits shelf life (Osei et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2020). In a similar manner, carotenoid mutants provide an opportunity to explore the significance of these pigments on ripening.…”
