The paper shows that cryptic genetic variation alters gene dosage effects on tomato inflorescence architecture, highlighting the role of background genetics in shaping trait outcomes.

This study shows that expressing a GRF-GIF chimera in tomato accelerates shoot regeneration and increases transgenic plant recovery, improving genome editing efficiency.

This study repairs a harmful mutation in a tomato gene using base editing, resulting in plants with compact growth and earlier fruit yield.
