Abstract excerpt
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a model plant to study glandular trichome development and their specialized metabolism, and several transcription factors (TF) regulating these intertwined traits and their network have been functionally characterized. Among them are members of the homeodomain leucine zipper subfamily IV (HD-ZIP IV). Here, we study a tomato EMS-mutant line, glandless, presenting mutant, glandless...
