    Compound tomato leaves are composed of multiple leaflets that are generated gradually during leaf development, and each resembles a simple leaf. The elaboration of a compound leaf form requires the maintenance of transient organogenic activity at the leaf margin. The developmental window of organogenic activity is defined by the antagonistic activities of factors that promote maturation, such as TCP transcription factors, SFT and gibberellin, and factors that delay maturation, such as KNOX transcription factors and cytokinin. Leaflet initiation sites are specified spatially and temporally by spaced and specific activities of CUCs, auxin and ENT

    E, as well as additional factors. The partially indeterminate growth of the compound tomato leaf makes it a useful model to understand the balance between determinate and indeterminate growth, and the mechanisms of organogenesis, some of which are common to many developmental processes in plants.
