Abstract excerpt
Targeting Induced Local Lesions IN Genomes (TILLING) combines chemical mutagenesis with high throughput screening to allow the generation of alleles of selected genes. In this study, TILLING has been applied to produce a series of mutations in genes encoding essential components of the tomato light signal transduction pathway in an attempt to enhance fruit nutritional quality. Point mutations to DEETIOLATED1...
