An increase of abiotic stress tolerance and nutritive value of foods is currently a priority
because of climate change and rising world population. Among abiotic stresses, salt stress …

Leaf morphology can affect the development and yield of plants by regulating plant
architecture and photosynthesis. Several factors can determine the final leaf morphology …

Identification of tomato varieties able to exhibit higher accumulation of primary and
secondary metabolites in their fruits is currently a main objective in tomato breeding. One …

Fruit development involves chloroplast development, carotenoid accumulation and fruit
coloration. Although genetic regulation of fruit development has been extensively …

Leaf margins are complex plant morphological features that contribute to leaf shape
diversity, which affects plant structure, yield, and adaptation. Although several leaf margin …

A tomato core collection consisting of 122 gene bank accessions, including landraces, old
cultivars, and wild relatives, was explored for variation in several plant growth, yield and fruit …

Understanding the spatial heterogeneity of light and photosynthesis distribution within a
canopy is crucial for optimizing plant growth and yield, especially in the context of …

Domesticated plants display diverse phenotypic traits. However, the influence of breeding
effort on this phenotypic diversity remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that a single …

Leaf shape, a spectacularly diverse plant trait, varies across taxonomic levels, geography
and in response to environmental differences. However, comprehensive intraspecific …

Leaf shape represents a vital agronomic trait for leafy vegetables such as lettuce. Some
lettuce cultivars produce lobed leaves, varying from pinnately to palmately lobed, but the …
