Tomato Variants

Caption

Pictured (from left) a wild-type tomato variety (WT) compared to plants affected by two specific mutations. A cryptic interaction between these mutations leads to over branching (red arrows) which reduces fruit yield. However, breeders from Florida developed plants that somehow circumvented this undesirable interaction
