Phosphorus Concentration Modulates Locule Number in Tomato via Sugar Accumulation in the Shoot Apex

Locule number, a key agronomic trait determining tomato yield and quality, is regulated by genetic determinants, low temperature, and nitrogen supply, and is also affected by phosphorus concentration during the seedling stage, although the underlying mechanism remains unclear. To address this, we treated ‘Mati’ tomato...
