Gibberellin and the miRNA156-targeted SlSBPs synergistically regulate tomato floral meristem activity and fruit patterning

This study shows that GA and miR156 regulate tomato floral meristem activity and fruit patterning through their interaction with SlSBPs, affecting fruit development traits.

miR319-targeted TCP4/LANCEOLATE directly regulates OVATE and auxin responses to modulate tomato gynoecium patterning and fruit morphology

This study identifies miR319-targeted TCP4/LA regulation of OVATE and auxin responses, revealing a molecular mechanism controlling tomato fruit morphology and gynoecium patterning.

SELF PRUNING 3C is a flowering repressor that modulates seed germination, root architecture and drought responses

The paper shows that SP3C, a CETS gene in tomato, represses flowering and also regulates seed germination and root architecture.

Introgression of type-IV glandular trichomes from Solanum galapagense to cultivated tomato reveals genetic complexity for the development of acylsugar-based insect resistance

This paper introgresses type-IV glandular trichomes from S. galapagense into tomato, revealing genetic complexity in trichome development and acylsugar production.

The ORGAN SIZE (ORG) locus contributes to isometric gigantism in domesticated tomato

The ORGAN SIZE (ORG) locus controls isometric size increase in vegetative and reproductive organs of tomato through changes in cell division.

Photoperiod shapes aluminium tolerance in plants

The paper investigates how photoperiod influences aluminium tolerance in plants, finding that long-day species are more sensitive to aluminium than short-day species.

SELF-PRUNING affects auxin responses synergistically with the cyclophilin A DIAGEOTROPICA in tomato

The paper shows that the sp mutation in tomato affects auxin transport and responses, with epistatic interactions with diageotropica, influencing growth habit and productivity.
