Abstract
Red, orange, yellow, green, striped: many colourful and tasty tomatoes are currently on the market all over the world. These fascinating varieties are obtained by targeting specific units of a complex gene regulatory network (GRN) of transcription factors, which work in concert to regulate the downstream effectors of tomato fruit ripening. Through a multi-angle approach, Zhao et al. (2023) unravel the regulatory role of the bHLH transcription factor EMB1444-like in the process of tomato fruit ripening, expanding the potential for developing elite tomato varieties that combine highquality organoleptic and shelf-life characteristics.
