Abstract excerpt

Tomatoes are vital crops globally and they provide numerous nutritional benefits, including vitamins, lycopene, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). This study utilized CRISPR/Cas9 technology to introduce mutations in two genes, HWS (Hawaiian Skirt) and GAD3 (glutamate decarboxylase 3), to enhance tomato quality, increase yield stability, and improve parthenocarpic traits. Our results demonstrated that HWS and...
