Fruit Colour and Novel Mechanisms of Genetic Regulation of Pigment Production in Tomato Fruits
2021-08-21
Abstract excerpt
Fruit colour represents a genetic trait with ecological and nutritional value. Plants mainly use colour to attract animals and favour seed dispersion. Thus, in many species, fruit colour coevolved with frugivories and their preferences. Environmental factors, however, represented other adaptive forces and further diversification was driven by domestication. All these factors cooperated in the evolution of tomato f...
