| Research Abstract |
This research explores the possibility whether addition of different mutations associated with fruit size results in increased fruit expansion (subject 1), and aims to isolate the responsible gene for one of the fruit size mutant (subject 2). Genetic analysis indicated double mutants showedincreased fruit expansion, consistent with our prediction. In this research, genome sequences of two out of four mutants were determined by next generation sequencing and it appeared that these two genes encode novel proteins that control fruit size.
