In tomato, sugar content is highly correlated with consumer preferences, with most consumers preferring sweeter fruit. However, the sugar content of commercial varieties is generally low, as it is inversely correlated with fruit size, and growers prioritize yield over flavour quality. Here we identified two genes, tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) calcium-dependent protein kinase 27 (SlCDPK27; also known as SlCPK27) and its paralogue SlCDPK26, that control fruit sugar content.

Roasted carob pulp (Ceratonia siliqua) is a cocoa substitute known for its faint cocoa-like resemblance. However, the cocoa-carob flavour gap remains poorly uncharacterised. This study aimed to elucidate the sensory and molecular aspects of this flavour gap in a 70 % dark chocolate formulation via a two-pronged instrumental-sensorial approach.
