Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: Seedlessness, one of the most desired traits in fleshy fruits, can be obtained altering solely AGL11 gene, a D -class MADS-box. Opposite to overlapping functions described for ovule identity. AGAMOUS like-11 (AGL11) is a D-class MADS-box gene that determines ovule identity in model species. In grapevine, VviAGL11 has been proposed as the main candidate gene responsible for seedlessness because ovules...
