Linked Claims

Claim 1functional effectsupports2004Source 1DOIPubMed

Overexpression of tomato CRY2 causes hypocotyl and internode shortening under both low- and high-fluence blue light.

Quoted textsource-backed
Tomato CRY2 overexpressors show phenotypes similar to but distinct from their Arabidopsis counterparts (hypocotyl and internode shortening under both low- and high-fluence blue light)
Claim 2functional effectsupports2004Source 1DOIPubMed

Overexpression of tomato CRY2 delays flowering under both short-day and long-day conditions and increases axillary branch outgrowth.

Quoted textsource-backed
CRY2 overexpression causes an unexpected delay in flowering, observed under both short- and long-day conditions, and an increased outgrowth of axillary branches.
Claim 3functional effectsupports2004Source 1DOIPubMed

Overexpression of tomato CRY2 produces a high-pigment phenotype with overproduction of anthocyanins and chlorophyll in leaves and flavonoids and lycopene in fruits.

Quoted textsource-backed
but also several novel ones, including a high-pigment phenotype, resulting in overproduction of anthocyanins and chlorophyll in leaves and of flavonoids and lycopene in fruits
Claim 4functional effectsupports2004Source 1DOIPubMed

Virus-induced gene silencing of CRY2 in wild-type tomato plants causes a minor internode elongation.

Quoted textsource-backed
whereas in wild-type plants it causes a minor internode elongation
Claim 5gene expression associationsupports2004Source 1DOIPubMed

In fruits of CRY2-overexpressing tomato plants, lycopene accumulation is accompanied by decreased expression of lycopene beta-cyclase genes.

Quoted textsource-backed
The accumulation of lycopene in fruits is accompanied by the decreased expression of lycopene beta-cyclase genes.
Claim 6genetic reversionsupports2004Source 1DOIPubMed

Virus-induced gene silencing of CRY2 reverses leaf anthocyanin accumulation, internode shortening, and late flowering in CRY2-overexpressing tomato plants.

Quoted textsource-backed
Virus-induced gene silencing of CRY2 results in a reversion of leaf anthocyanin accumulation, of internode shortening, and of late flowering in CRY2-overexpressing plants
