This study uses a fruit-specific promoter to overexpress and edit genes in tomato fruit epidermis, altering cuticle composition and properties.

This study identifies the tomato MARS1/ROUGH gene, which encodes a histone demethylase, and shows its role in regulating adventitious root formation and fruit skin development through epigenetic mechanisms.

This study identifies phytochrome B and its downstream factors as regulators of cuticle formation in tomato fruits, showing their impact on cuticle composition and disease susceptibility.

The study identifies SlZFP2 as essential for tomato locular tissue morphogenesis by altering cell cycle and endoreduplication in a gel-less mutant.

This study identifies FveBRC1 as a key gene regulating axillary bud fate in strawberry, influencing both branch crown and stolon formation.

The paper identifies temperature-modulated QTL for flowering time plasticity in strawberries and develops a genetic marker for breeding applications.

This study analyzes a European strawberry diversity panel to identify genetic markers and candidate genes for fruit quality traits using GWAS.

The paper identifies genetic loci influencing fruit color in strawberry by analyzing QTLs and mQTLs, revealing the dominant role of the F. vesca subgenome in anthocyanin production.

The paper identifies metabolite quantitative trait loci (mQTLs) for flavonoids in strawberries, revealing genetic factors influencing fruit quality traits.

The paper investigates whether increasing meiotic crossovers in crop species hybrids is possible by mutating orthologs of genes identified in Arabidopsis.
