Tomato WRKY-S transcription factor targets FS8.1 to regulate fruit shape and associated yield traits
expression analysis revealed that WRKY-S is highly expressed during early fruit stages, and CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knockout of WRKY-S produced rounded fruits with reduced cell number along the proximal-distal axis, while overexpression resulted in irregular fruit shapes.
