Abstract excerpt
Auxin is an important regulator of reproductive development. The families of the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) genes, important components of the auxin signal, have expanded in flowering plants. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) has two copies of ARF8, which are negatively regulated by miR167. Here, we investigated the involvement of this expanded SlmiR167-SlARF8 module in flower development. Mutants were generated in...
