| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Shoot branching is an important trait in agriculture and horticulture because it affects the number and quality of fruits. In this study, to investigate the role of strigolactones (SLs) in fruit formation and the SL pathway in tomato, we obtained some SL-related mutants of Micro-Tom by the TILLING method or genome editing and characterized phenotypes of the mutants. Furthermore, we found that infection of the root parasitic plants was lower in the roots of SL biosynthesis mutants than in WT roots because of the low germination.
