This project investigates the role of callose in tomato fruit softening, aiming to enhance postharvest quality. By modifying callose metabolism, the research seeks to improve fruit texture and shelf-life, ultimately reducing losses and enhancing food security.
Tomato, SolanTomato, Solanum lycopersicum L. is one of the most important crops and an important source of nutrients in the world.
However, around 25-42% of the yield are lost during postharvest.
Rapid softening is one of the main causes reducing the shelf-life of the fruit.
Therefore, delaying this process is one of the major targets in fruit breeding programmes.
Evidence show that stimulating callose in tomatoes via bruising or heating induce changes in fruit texture.
In this project, the impa…
