Fruit set is a key determinant of yield and thus of significant agronomic importance in all edible fruit crops. Fruit set is established during and soon after fertilization of the ovules inside the quiescent ovary, yet the molecular mechanism underlying it remains obscure. To gain insights into the mechanism of fleshy fruit set, we investigate how certain tomato mutants isolated in the lab uncouples fruit set from fertilization.
