ad not previously been identified. In this study, researchers led by Prof. LI Chuanyou from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported the cloning, functional characterization, and breeding application of fs8.1. They demonstrated that the fs8.1 mutation has a stronger promoting effect on cell proliferation in the ovary wall than in the columella, resulting in an elongated fruit shape. They then identified the FS8.1 gene and found that it encod
