1. An isolated DNA molecule comprising the nucleotide sequence of Table 1, residue -942 to -1 (SEQ ID NO:
- 2), encoding a soft fruit promoter wherein said promoter is characterized in that it can be activated by environmental agents selected from the group consisting of low temperature, UV light, or exposure to particular levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide or organic acids and wherein said promoter or functional portion thereof is activated, or primarily activated, during a late state of normal soft fruit ripening.
