  "summary": "In seed plants, reproductive success depends on the precise coordination of floral organ development. Here, we identify and characterize the Solanum lycopersicum transcription factor (TF) SlMYB24 as a member of the R2R3-MYB subgroup 19. While Slmyb24 mutants exhibited no obvious phenotypic alterations, the previously characterized Slmyb21 mutant displayed defects in floral development that were…",
