Abstract excerpt
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) sepal morphology impacts fruit external quality, yet its genetic regulatory mechanism remains unclear. Accordingly, we constructed a segregating population from noncurling (P47) and inward-curling Ailsa Craig (AC) inbred lines, and fine-mapped the major sepal curvature locus to a 25-kb distal region of chromosome 4 via BSA-seq and genetic mapping. Four candidate genes were found in...
