Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Two Aucsia genes were differentially expressed in parthenocarpic flower buds.
- Observation Two tomato Aucsia genes encode 53-amino-acid-long peptides.
- Intervention effect Aucsia silencing induced parthenocarpic fruit development in tomato.
- Intervention effect Aucsia-silenced tomato showed leaf fusion and reflexed leaves.
- Intervention effect Aucsia silencing reduced auxin-induced rhizogenesis in cotyledon explants.
- Intervention effect Aucsia silencing reduced polar auxin transport in roots.
- Intervention effect Aucsia-silenced tomato was more sensitive to 1-naphthylphthalamic acid.
- Intervention effect Preanthesis Aucsia-silenced flower buds had increased total indole-3-acetic acid.
- Observation Aucsia homologs were found in chlorophytes and streptophytes.
- Observation AUCSIA peptides have a 16-amino-acid motif, lysine-rich carboxyl terminus and tyrosine-based sorting motif.
