The CSIC participates in the discovery of a gene that affects tomato quality
Researchers have discovered the transcription factor that regulates tomato chloroplast development and eventually fruit quality. The study, published in the journal ‘Science’, indicates that a mutation introduced by man produces tomatoes with lower than normal sugar levels An international investigation in which the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) has participated has discovered the transcription […]
A CSIC project seeks to develop more resistant and flavorful tomatoes
It is coordinated by the researcher Antonio Granell, from the Plant Molecular and Cellular Biology Institute, and has a total budget of 8.07 million euros. The project will collect and centralize genetic information on tomato varieties to make it available to researchers, producers and companies. A biotechnology project led by researchers from the Higher Council […]
