Default What causes Mealy tomatoes?

I have picked some excellent fruit off of most plants and then I will get one or several that look great on the outside and still have a nice flavor but the texture is grainy or mealy. I think since good ones came off the same plants it must be an environmental factor and not genetic. Can anyone shed some light on why tomatoes sometimes develope mealinness?
