Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect SlTLFP8 up-regulation enhanced tomato resistance to water deficiency.
- Intervention effect SlTLFP8 knockout mutants were more sensitive to water deficit.
- Intervention effect SlTLFP8 overexpression enhanced water-use efficiency under both water regimes.
- Intervention effect SlTLFP8 overexpression suppressed transpiration.
- Intervention effect Overexpression increased leaf epidermal cell size.
- Intervention effect Overexpression decreased stomatal density 10-20%.
- Intervention effect Knockout decreased epidermal cell size.
- Intervention effect Knockout increased stomatal density 20-50%.
- Observation Overexpression and knockout modulated ploidy levels in leaf cells.
- Mechanism Cell-cycle gene expression indicated that SlTLFP8 affects cell size and stomatal density through endocycle transition.
- Intervention effect Altering SlTLFP8 expression did not change photosynthesis.
- Intervention effect Biomass was not altered in transgenic lines.
- Intervention effect Fruit yield differed little between transgenic and wild-type lines across water regimes.
