CRISPR mutants targeting genes involved in tomato softening: Effects on fruit ripening and localisation of pectic polysaccharides in pericarp cell walls

The challenge is to breed tomato varieties that have a reasonable postharvest shelf life while maintaining excellent eating quality. Shelf life is greatly influenced by texture changes that occur due to cell wall remodelling during softening and is a consequence of the combined action of multiple ge...
