Mutations induced by CRISPR-Cas9 in the promoter of the MIF tomato gene (SlIMA). CR#1 and CR#2 disrupt a CArG box used by MADS domain proteins, while CR#3 disrupts a site adjacent to this CArG-box. Note that CR#1 and CR#2 fruits contain additional locules relative to the wild type (WT) or CR#3. (Reproduced from Bollier et al. [2018], Figure 4.)
