Revisiting the Involvement of SELF-PRUNING in the Sympodial Growth of Tomato1[W]

During flowering, the CENTRORADIALIS (CEN) gene of Antirrhinum majus and its homolog TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) are required to maintain inflorescence identity of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) while flower meristems are produced on its flanks (Bradley et al., 1996, 1997). Consistent with this role, both genes are expressed at high level in the inflorescence SAM and their mutation converts the SAM into a terminal flower. By contrast, the homologous SELF-PRUNING (SP) gene of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)-which together with CEN and TFL1 defines the CETS gene family (Pnueli et al., 1998, 2001)-might have a different function because the sp mutation does not ...
