Tonoplast sugar transporters coordinately regulate tomato fruit development and quality.

Abstract excerpt

Fruit yield and quality are antagonistically regulated traits in tomato. An excessive focus on increasing yield often leads to a decline in quality. Achieving a delicate balance between high yield and desirable fruit quality is a challenging aspect of tomato breeding. In this study, we discovered that disrupting the function of the tomato tonoplast sugar transporter 3a (TST3a) significantly enhances both fruit...
