Abstract excerpt
Fruit shape is an important external quality trait that directly determines the market value. Modification of fruit shape has emerged as a key focus in crop improvement, but the regulatory network of fruit shape specifications remains largely unknown. Here, we identified a short fruit mutant (sf5) that was caused by a C-to-T single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TONNEAU2 (CsTON2), a microtubule-associated gene...
