Summary:Abstract Fruit quality is both a consumer demand and an important goal for horticultural breeding. The exploration of quality-related genes provides targets to create high-quality germplasm using biotechnology, of which transcription factors (TFs) exhibit dosage effects compared with structural genes. Tomato, an important horticultural crop as well as model fruit, has been widely studied. Here, we focused on TFs with potential utilization value that control appearance (e.g. shape, pigment) and internal (e.g. flavor, texture, shelf life and health benefits) quality in tomato. Additionally, potential strategies to generate high-quality tomato fruit are discussed.
