- Mechanism SPL13 is the major SPL in miR156a-regulated inflorescence structure and lateral branching.
- Intervention effect Suppressing SPL13 increased inflorescences on vegetative branches and lateral branches.
- Intervention effect Suppressing SPL13 decreased flower and fruit numbers.
- Mechanism SPL13 directly binds the SFT promoter and positively regulates SFT expression to control inflorescence development.
