Solanum lycopersicum strain:CV M82 Transcriptome or Gene expression
Tomato mutants defective in ta-siRNA production have narrow, “shoestring” leaves reminiscent of virus-infected plants. The tomato leaf phenotype is due to deregulated ARF gene expression but ectopic expression of the same ARF genes in related species fails to recapitulate these developmental defects, analogous to species-specific viral infection symptoms.
