Abstract
A heat-tolerant tomato plant exhibiting a high capacity for developing seed-containing fruits under high temperature conditions is provided. The present invention relates to a method for producing a heat-tolerant tomato plant comprising introducing a genetic mutation into a tomato plant, wherein the mutation improves the pollen viability and the capacity for developing seed-containing fruits under high temperature conditions compared with wild-type plant; and a heat-tolerant tomato plant into which the mutation has been introduced.
Claims6
A heat-tolerant tomato plant of species Solanum lycopersicum comprising genetic mutations of (i) to (iv):
- (i) a nucleotide mutation causing amino acid mutation D61Y as defined on the basis of the reference amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 64:
- (ii) a nucleotide mutation causing a loss-of-function of the gene comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 65;
- (iii) a nucleotide mutation causing a loss-of-function of the gene comprising the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 67;
- and
- (iv) a nucleotide mutation causing amino acid mutation *102C, wherein * indicates the generation of a stop codon, as defined on the basis of the reference amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO:
- 70.
