Grierson discovered several plant genes and studied their role in tomato ripening. He also was the first to identify and characterise genes for ACC oxidase (ACO) and demonstrated its role in the synthesis of the hormone ethylene.[5] Grierson was among the first to achieve silencing of plant genes in transgenic plants using antisense (1988, 1990)[6] and sense genes (1990). He was involved in creating a genetically modified tomato in the 1990s which ripened more slowly, a tomato purée made from the tomatoes was the first genetically modified food to be sold in the UK.[7] His research collaborators include Harry Smith.[8][9] Awards and honoursGrierson was elected fellow of the Institute of Biology in 1985, awarded a research medal by the Royal Agricultural Society of England for "outstanding research in agriculture" in 1990. In 2000 he appointed Order of the British Empire (OBE) for "services to plant gene regulation".[10] In 2001 he received the Bertebos Prize, from the Royal Swedish Academy for Agriculture & Forestry for "pioneering research in modern plant biotechnology". He is now{{when|date=March 2018}} an emeritus professor at Nottingham and also has a part-time position as Guang Biao professor at Zhejiang University. In 2017, he was elected as a foreign member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE). [11] Personal lifeHis daughter Claire Grierson is also a geneticist specialising in plant root-hair cells, and a Professor at the University of Bristol. In 2017 she was appointed Head of the School of Biological Sciences.[12] References1. ^1 {{Who's Who | author=Anon| surname = Greirson| othernames = Prof. Donald | id = U18183 | year = 2017 | doi =10.1093/ww/9780199540884.013.18183 | edition = online Oxford University Press|location=Oxford}} {{subscription required}} {{FRS 2000}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Grierson, Donald}}{{geneticist-stub}}2. ^{{cite web | url=http://genomics.nottingham.ac.uk/~Zoe/pslab/grierson/ | title=Professor Don Grierson | publisher=University of Nottingham | accessdate=31 December 2011}} 3. ^1 {{cite thesis|degree=PhD|publisher=University of Edinburgh|url=https://www.era.lib.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/13956|hdl=1842/13956|doi=|title=The synthesis of ribosomal ribonucleic acid in developing primary leaves of Phaseolus aureus|first= Donald|last=Grierson|date=1972|id={{EThOS|uk.bl.ethos.651825}}|website=lib.ed.ac.uk|oclc=846263643}} {{free access}} 4. ^{{cite web|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070519080713/http://genomics.nottingham.ac.uk/~Zoe/pslab/grierson/|archivedate=2007-05-19|url=http://genomics.nottingham.ac.uk/~Zoe/pslab/grierson/|title=Professor Don Grierson: Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Professor of Plant Physiology|website=nottingham.ac.uk}} 5. ^{{cite book|author=Lalit M.
