Abstract excerpt
Tomato fruit firmness is a critical determinant of postharvest quality, dictating storage, ultimate shelf life, and market value. While previous research on tomato fruit firmness has largely confined to wild or heirloom accessions, the genetic basis underlying this trait in modern elite breeding lines remains largely unexplored. In this study, we dissect the genetic architecture of fruit firmness using a...
