This study shows that overexpressing mitochondrial-targeted glutamine synthetase in tomato leaves increases assimilate export, leading to earlier flowering and higher yield.

This study shows that modifying carotenoid metabolism in tomato improves biomass, stress tolerance, and yield while enhancing nutritional value and shelf life.

This study identifies MYB10 allelic variation as the primary driver of natural color variation in strawberry fruit, with specific mutations affecting anthocyanin biosynthesis in both diploid and octoploid species.

This study introduces GrOE-FBA to model metabolism during cell expansion, showing similar energetic costs for metabolite biosynthesis in dividing and expanding cells and revealing transitory starch's role in tomato fruit development.
