Abstract excerpt
The functions of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) in the genetic control of crop traits and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We studied the function of tomato HOOKLESS2 (SlHLS2), a member of the GCN5 family of HATs, through genetic, molecular and genomic approaches. Tomato hls2 mutants generated through CRISPR-cas9 gene editing show enhanced susceptibility to fungal infection, accelerated...
