Br(e)aking the tomato fruit size-sweetness trade-off
2025
The study by Zhang et al. demonstrated that two kinases (SlCDPK27 and SlCDPK26) regulate the sugar content in tomato fruits with little impact on morphology. They act as sugar breaks by phosphorylating a sucrose synthase, promoting its degradation and unveiling the mechanism by which sugar content can be increased without yield penalty.
