摘要
The tomato floral system is distinguished from that of Arabidopsis and Antirrhinum in several ways. The shoot is a sympodium, the first flower of the inflorescence is apical and no bracts are formed. We discuss the possible function of genes affecting growth habit and inflorescence development and analyze in detail the unique developmental alterations caused by inhibition or ectopic expression of tomato-specific MADS-box genes. Preliminary analysis of transgenic tomato plants expressing an alien homeotic gene and several different chimeric genes of the MADS-box family is also reported.
