Abstract
In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), the Solyc03g063100 gene has two alleles with opposite effects: Self pruning 3D (Sp3D), which accelerates flowering, and single flower truss (sft), which inhibits this process. This gene belongs to the CETS family (named after the homolog genes CENTRORADIALIS, TERMINAL FLOWER 1 and SELF-PRUNING, found, respectively in Antirrhinum, Arabidopsis and tomato) (…
