  • Spbranched1a of Solanum Pennellii and Tomato Plants with Reduced Branching Comprising this Heterologous Spbranched1a Gene
    Publication number: 20150197767
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new sequence of BRANCHED1a gene, the SpBRANCHED1a gene of Solanum pennellii, and to an expression product of said gene, to a vector, host cell, cell culture, recombinant expression system, or tomato plants comprising said SpBRANCHED1a gene. The present invention also refers to the heterologous use of the gene in tomato plants, to produce a plant having fewer and/or shorter axillary shoots than a control plant, and to a method for producing tomato plants having fewer and/or shorter axillary shoots than a control plant.

  • Genes regulating plant branching, promotors, genetic constructs containing same and uses thereof
    Patent number: 9040776
    Abstract: The invention relates to genes coding for TCP family transcription factors and having a biological role in the development of axillary buds and branch growth. Furthermore, the invention relates to the promoters of the transcription of said genes, to the genetic constructs containing same and to the uses thereof, including the use of agents that modulate the expression of these genes in order to modify plant architecture.
