This study edits tomato HY5 to create a light-stable version that improves shade tolerance and disease resistance.

The paper shows that X57 modulates chloroplast transitions by inhibiting SAL1, leading to PAP accumulation and changes in gene expression that facilitate plastid de- and re-differentiation.

This study identifies the Wf gene in melon as a homologue of RPGE microproteins that regulates chloroplast differentiation in fruit flesh by interacting with APRR2.

This study shows that loss of SlG2 in tomato increases monoterpenoid levels and enhances resistance to bacterial infection through elevated salicylic acid.

The paper identifies a tomato genotype (IL2-2) that shows improved fruit yield under high-density conditions despite altered auxin-related gene expression in response to simulated shade.
