Transcriptional profiling of the tomato fruit pericarp tissue: fruits overexpressing yeast ySAMdc gene and controls

ABSTRACT: Fruits of transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants engineered with ripening-induced, yeast S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (ySAMdc) gene, accumulate the higher polyamines spermidine (Spd) and spermine (Spm) and demonstrate ameliorated phytonutrient content, juice quality, and prolonged vine life. Enhanced nitrogen-carbon interactions were revealed by comprehensive Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy-based metabolite profiling of the transgenics, suggesting that Spd and Spm are perceived as nitrogenous metabolites by the fruit cells (Mattoo et al., 2006). The recent work by our colleagues identified the effects of Spd/Spm accumulation on various functional classes of tomato genes affected during ripening by probing 1522 ESTs on a custom-made array (Srivastava et al., 200
