Revisiting the Involvement of SELF-PRUNING in the Sympodial Growth of Tomato1[W]

During flowering, the CENTRORADIALIS ( CEN ) gene of Antirrhinum majus and its homolog TERMINAL FLOWER1 ( TFL1 ) in Arabidopsis ( Arabidopsis thaliana ) are required to maintain inflorescence identity of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) while flower meristems are produced on its flanks ([Bradley et
