CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutations of FANTASTIC FOUR gene family for creating early flowering mutants in tomato.

Abstract excerpt

Flowering time is of great agricultural importance and the timing and extent of flowering usually determines yield and availability of flowers, fruits and seeds. Identification of genes determining flowering has important practical applications for tomato breeding. Here we demonstrate the roles of the FANTASTIC FOUR (FAF) gene family in regulating tomato flowering time. In this plant-specific gene family,...
