The invention relates to novel tomato plants producing fruits displaying a modified sugar content, particularly displaying an increased sucrose content. The invention also relates to seeds and parts of said plants, for example fruits. The invention further relates to methods of making and using such seeds and plants. The invention also relates to a sucrose modifier SucMod allele, which, when combined with a sucrose accumulation TIV allele derived from a green-fruited wild tomato accession, significantly alters the proportion of sugar stored in the fruit, confers increased fruit sucrose content at the expense of hexose sugars and results in a fruit with a distinctive flavor.
