Plant height is an important agronomic trait in crops. Several genes underlying tomato () plant height mutants have been cloned. However, few quantitative trait genes for plant height have been identified in tomato.

- * The ms-15 mutant displays abnormal floral traits and is useful for hybrid seed production, showing a deletion in TM6's promoter and initial exons, which essentially disrupts its function.
- * New genetic markers MS26D and MS15C were created to assist in tracking ms-15 variations, and analysis revealed altered expression of floral development genes in the mutant compared to the wild type.
Article Synopsis
- * Researchers mapped the atv locus on chromosome 7 and discovered a modified gene, SlMYBATV, with a mutation that likely disrupts its function.
- * The study revealed that genes involved in anthocyanin production are more active in tomato lines with the SlMYBATV mutation, providing insights for developing tomatoes that are richer in anthocyanins using marker-assisted breeding techniques.
