Abstract:The formation of locule gel is not only an important developmental process in tomato but also a typical characteristic of berry fruit. In this study, we collected a tomato material that produces all-flesh fruits (AFF), whose locule tissue remains in a solid state during fruit development. We built genetic populations to fine map the causal gene of AFF trait, investigate the function of AFF gene, and identified it as the causal locus conferring the locule gel formation. We determined the causal mutation as a 41… Show more
