“…Several loss-of-function mutations in the PSY1 gene of tomato (genetic locus r ) have been isolated ( r 2997 , r 3756 , r y , yft2 , PI114490; Fray and Grierson, 1993 ; Yuan et al, 2008 ; Gady et al, 2012 ; Kachanovsky et al, 2012 ; Chen et al, 2019 ). Likewise, CRISPR mutants have also been generated for PSY1 in tomato and maize, PSY in wheat, and both PSY1 and PSY2 in carrots ( Zhu et al, 2016 ; Dahan-Meir et al, 2018 ; D’Ambrosio et al, 2018 ; Oleszkiewicz et al, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ). Reduced accumulation of carotenoids characterize CRISPR mutants in wheat, while the albino plants and white seeds are observed in maize ( Zhu et al, 2016 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ).…”
