Abstract
In a recent study, Satterlee et al. found that the repeated emergence of prickleless varieties in Solanaceae species is a convergent trait caused by loss of function in the cytokinin-activating enzyme LONELY GUY (LOG). New prickleless forms can be created in wild and domesticated forms using gene editing.
