Epistasis in tomato color mutations involves regulation of phytoene synthase 1 expression by cis-carotenoids.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 13 Nov 2012

Abstract excerpt

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) fruit accumulate the red carotenoid pigment lycopene. The recessive mutation yellow-flesh (locus r) in tomato eliminates fruit carotenoids by disrupting the activity of the fruit-specific phytoene synthase (PSY1), the first committed step in the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway. Fruits of the recessive mutation tangerine (t) appear orange due to accumulation of...
