✦ Synopsis

The primary transcript of one of the two chorismate synthase genes (LeCS2) of tomato is differentially processed due to an alternative splicing of the third intron. A novel observation was made when the abundances of the two LeCS2‐specific transcripts in different organs were analysed. The ratio of these two transcripts differs in RNA populations from different organs. Possible explanations for this finding and its potential physiological impact for plant metabolism are discussed.
