The Tomato Genome Encodes SPCH, MUTE, and FAMA Candidates That Can Replace the Endogenous Functions of Their Arabidopsis Orthologs
Stomatal abundance determines the maximum potential for gas exchange between the plant and the atmosphere.In Arabidopsis, it is set during organ development through complex genetic networks linking epidermal differentiation programs with environmental response circuits.Three related bHLH transcription factors, SPCH, MUTE, and FAMA, act as positive
