9 Claims

1. A tomato plant exhibiting parthenocarpy or a portion thereof comprising a mutation in a Solyc10g038170 gene, the mutation causing deficiency or reduction in expression of a protein encoded by the Solyc10g038170 gene,

wherein the gene is a polynucleotide encoding a protein comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, and

wherein the mutation of the gene comprises the nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence comprising a substitution of arginine at position 37 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 with cysteine and a substitution of alanine at position 49 in the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2 with valine.
