From the Paper:
"The shelf life of fruits and vegetables is economically important to anyone in the farming of these goods or in the grocery business. It is also important in terms of transportation of these goods. Timing of harvest and arrangement of transportation are dependent on the rate of ripening of produce items. For this reason, genetic engineering may become an important asset in the produce industry. This paper will look at the genetic transformation of the tomato plant to inhibit the production of ethylene, a chemical known to be involved in the ripening process.Genetic engineering has many applications, and it is beginning to play a significant role in agriculture. Introducing certain genes into plants can afford them protection against pests and against adverse climatic conditions."
