GENE THAT CONTROLS PARTHENOCARPIC FRUIT FORMATION AND USES THEREOF

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
The present disclosure relates to a gene that controls parthenocarpy and uses thereof. Specifically, according to the disclosure, when the SlTPP4 gene in a plant is knocked down/knocked out, the plant may form parthenocarpic fruits. When the expression of the SlTPP4 gene g of the present disclosure is inhibited to induce parthenocarpy, the fruit formation rate is 90%, and the parthenocarpic plant exhibits facultative parthenocarpy, and thus may also form normal seeded fruits when pollination occurs. In addition, fruiting occurs well even in a high temperature stress environment.
