Furthermore, the research team noticed that the root and trichome acylsugar genes were gathered close together on the tomato genome, a type of genomic organization known as biosynthetic gene cluster.

By repairing the deleterious domestication mutation with genome editing, the Swiss researchers have obtained a tomato variety that is earlier yielding. Considering the Swiss moratorium banning the ...

which includes tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants. Using computational analysis, the researchers compared the genome maps and traced how the genes evolved over time: more than half, the researchers ...

As the world faces political instability, increasingly frequent extreme weather events, and a rapidly growing population, ensuring a sustainable, global food supply chain is of critical importance.

It followed on the heels of genome-edited tomatoes with five times the amount of gamma-aminobutyric acid, a substance believed to reduce high blood pressure. The tomatoes were registered for ...

The project therefore aims to build an innovative breeding platform using advanced molecular breeding and genome editing technology that can rapidly develop heat tolerant tomatoes and disease ...
