Genetic compensation and redundancy are conserved mechanisms “buffering” meristem homeostasis across different plants. In tomato, this is dependent upon the “active” transcriptional reprogramming of the closest paralog of the tomato CLV3 (SlCLV3), known as SlCLE9. Multiple genetic networks converge at the CLV signaling pathway, yet it is still not known whether the same pathways control SlCLE9 buffering.

We are interested in uncovering the transcriptional regulators of this compensation mechanisms in tomato meristem homeostasis, as a proxy to understand the genetic networks controlling reduncancy, buffering and compensation in plants.
