Natural and induced loss of function mutations in SlMBP21 MADS-box gene led to jointless-2 phenotype in tomato

Abstract Abscission is the mechanism by which plants disconnect unfertilized flowers, ripe fruits, senescent or diseased organs from the plant. In tomato, pedicel abscission is an important agronomic factor that controls yield and post-harvest fruit quality. Two non-allelic mutations, jointless (j)...
