Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: SlERF-RD1 acts as a molecular brake, resulting in a decoupled ripening phenotype with delayed softening, while simultaneously optimizing plant architecture and flowering time, suggesting its potential for improving tomato shelf-life and productivity. Fruit ripening in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a complex developmental process coordinated by a hierarchical network of transcription factors and...
