FW2.2 and cell cycle control in developing tomato fruit: a possible example of gene co-option in the evolution of a novel organ.

Abstract excerpt

fw2.2 is one of the few QTLs thus far isolated from plants and the first one known to control fruit size. While it has been established that FW2.2 is a regulator (either directly or indirectly) of cell division, FW2.2 does not share sequence homology to any protein of known function (Frary et al. Science 289:85-88, 2000; Cong et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 99:13606-13611, 2002; Liu et al. Plant Physiol...
