Abstract excerpt
Leaf growth is a major determinant of plant architecture and productivity. TWISTED DWARF1 (TWD1/FKBP42) is a conserved immunophilin involved in plant growth and development, but its function in tomato remains unclear. Here, we identified and characterized SlTWD1, the tomato homolog of TWD1. SlTWD1 is highly conserved among land plants and functionally complemented the developmental defects of an Arabidopsis...
