Combinations of citrate and malate alleles for the improvement of tomato organic acid content. a, b Manhattan plot for meta-analysis of genome-wide association analysis of citrate (a) and malate (b) content. AIMT, Aluminum-activated malate transporter; GTF, Glycosyl transferase group 1; GS, Glycogen synthase; AIMT, Aluminum-activated malate transporter; CS, Citrate synthase; Rubisco, Ribulose-1 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase 1; PDHB, Pyruvate dehydrogenase E1 component subunit beta; SS, Sucrose synthase; ME, Malic enzyme; GAPB, Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase B. c Allele distribution of citrate content at positions: chr1:1749084, chr2: 47,904,426, chr3: 52,998,165, chr6: 44,955,568, chr7: 63,601,724, and chr10: 65,378,714 in cerasiforme, heir_trans, heir_mod, and pimpinellifolium tomato accessions. d Allele distribution of malate content at positions: chr2: 48,509,791, chr4: 2,156,747, chr6: 44,999,916, chr9: 72,364,359, chr12: 1,824,226, and chr12: 64,816,056 in cerasiforme, heir_trans, heir_mod, and pimpinellifolium tomato accessions. e Mean (±SE, standard error) content of citrate content at different allele combinations in cerasiforme, heir_trans, heir_mod, and pimpinellifolium tomato accessions. f Correlation between the number of alternative alleles and citrate content. g Mean (±SE) content of malate content at different allele combinations in cerasiforme, heir_trans, heir_mod, and pimpinellifolium tomato accessions. h Correlations between the number of alternative alleles and malate content.
