Abstract excerpt
The entire (e) locus of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) controls leaf morphology. Dominant E and recessive e allele of the locus produce pinnate compound and complex reduced leaves. Previous research had indicated that SlIAA9, an Aux/IAA gene, was involved in tomato leaf morphology. Down-regulation of SlIAA9 gene by antisense transgenic method decreased the leaf complex of tomato and converted tomato compound...
