摘要:= 0.922). To characterize the function of SlMYB12, SlMYB12-overexpressing transgenic tomato plants were generated in three different cherry tomato varieties. Significant increases in flavonol content and flavonol biosynthetic gene expression were identified in SlMYB12-overexpressing plants. Therefore, we suggest that SlMYB12 plays a positive role in the flavonol biosynthesis pathway in cherry tomatoes, which further indicates a potential role as a marker in analyzing flavonol content in different cherry tomato varieties.
