EPF/EPFL Peptide Signaling as a Regulatory Node Linking Stomatal Development to Drought and Heat Tolerance in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)
Stomatal development and function are tightly regulated by signaling peptides with distinct, overlapping, or antagonistic roles in gas exchange and water balance. EPIDERMAL PATTERNING FACTOR (EPF) / EPF-LIKE (EPF/EPFL) family is a founding member of the secreted peptide family that regulates stomatal patterning. The roles of EPF/EPFL genes in tomato responses to drought, heat, and combined…
