Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: The isolated yft1 allele controls the formation of fruit color in n3122 via the regulation of response to ethylene, carotenoid accumulation and chromoplast development. Fruit color is one of the most important quality traits of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and is closely associated with both nutritional and market value. In this study, we characterized a tomato fruit color mutant n3122, named as...
