How SlBBX19 Affects Tomato Growth and Chilling Tolerance
Tomato productivity faces severe limits from chilling stress, yet researchers have long lacked a clear picture of how a single genetic regulator ties together photosynthesis, growth, and cold tolerance. According to a recent study characterising the chilling-inducible B-box transcription factor SlBBX19 in tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum), scientists have now mapped this exact mechanism. SlBBX19 is nucleus-localized … Read more
