A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.
