| Abstract | The entire (e) locus of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) controls leaf morphology. Dominant E and recessive e allele of the locus produce pinnate compound and complex reduced leaves. Previous research had indicated that SlIAA9, an Aux/IAA gene, was involved in tomato leaf morphology. Down-regulation of SlIAA9 gene by antisense transgenic method decreased the leaf complex of tomato and converted tomato compound leaves to simple leaves. The leaf morphology of these transgenic lines was similar with leaf morphology of tomato entire mutant. In this paper, we report that a single-base deletion mutation in the coding region of SlIAA9 gene results in tomato entire mutant phenotypes. |
