ORF3n transgenic plants are characterized by retarded flowering, altered internode elongation, altered leaf shape and, in particular, leaf tip necrosis. ORF3n and ORF8 expression reduces the sensitivity to auxin and cytokinin in combination or auxin alone. Tetracycline-dependent expression of ORF13 ...
Plants are generally shorter, growing to approximately 1.5m in height The leaves are similar to those of Himalayan knotweed, having parallel veins and an elongated shape, but they are generally not as slender Flowers form clusters of bell-shaped individual flowers that are pink and large (approxim...

A loss-of-function tomato mutant showed a reduction in n-alkanes and aldehydes with chain lengths beyond C30 in waxes of leaf and fruit38. We identified a mango homolog of AtKCS6, MiKCS6 (MIN040156), with high expression during early fruit develop- ment stages (15–45 DAF), reaching...
