Vascular network in the pericarp of tomato fruit and implications for fruit size, quality, and drought response.

Abstract excerpt

The importance of the vascular network for transporting water, carbohydrates, and nutrients for sustaining plant growth and development in the vegetative body of plants is well known. Nevertheless, the vascular network within a fruit is still inadequately understood. Here, we characterized the vascular network in the fruit pericarp of 10 tomato genotypes varying in fruit size from 20 to 287 g (fresh mass) and...
