Abstract: The present invention relates to novel tomato plants producing fruits displaying a modified sugar content, particularly displaying an increased sucrose content. The present invention also relates to seeds and parts of said plants, for example fruits. The present invention further relates to methods of making and using such seeds and plants. The present invention also relates to a novel sucrose modifier SucMod allele, which, when combined with a sucrose accumulation T/Vallele derived from a green-fruited wild tomato accession, significantly alters the proportion of sugar stored in the fruit, confers increased fruit sucrose content at the expense of hexose sugars and results in a fruit with a distinctive flavour.

Abstract: A plant comprising a genome having an introgression which comprises a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having a terpene synthase activity or a transporter activity, the introgression comprising allelic variation(s) as compared to a genome of a recurrent parent of the plant, is disclosed. Organisms comprising a genome having been genetically modified to express a polypeptide having a terpene synthase activity or a transporter activity are also disclosed. Methods of modulating terpene synthesis or transport of metabolites in organisms, methods of producing plants having a terpene synthase activity of interest, having a terpene profile of interest or having a transporter activity of interest are disclosed. Methods of producing a terpene of interest are also disclosed.
