Key Findings
- Researchers at Sunchon National University identified eight SlE2F/DP genes in tomato, each with unique domains
- These genes show different expression patterns in tomato organs and respond to stresses like heat, salt, and cold
- The study suggests these genes are crucial for plant development and stress responses, aiding future crop improvement
