CRISPR/Cas12a-mediated allele engineering of SmAPRR2 and SmGLK2 reveals complementary control of fruit peel and flesh chlorophyll pigmentation in eggplant

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) displays extensive fruit color diversity, in which chlorophyll-related pigmentation contributes to both external appearance and market value.

Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) displays extensive fruit color diversity, in which chlorophyll-related pigmentation contributes to both external appearance and market value. Previous genetic studies identified SmAPRR2 and SmGLK2 as major candidate genes controlling uniform green…
