Is there a database of known transcription factor target genes for Solanum lycopersicum? Or a tool which can infer what genes accept which transcription factors in tomato?
I'm aware that the best way to classify this data is through CHiP-seq, but as for just initial manipulation with RNA-seq what are some good, plant based, transcription factor binding site programs to use?

There are plenty of software for de novo motif discovery as well as comparison against known motifs. Meme-suit [http://meme-suite.org/] does it perfectly (MEME and DREME for de novo, and TOMTOM and Centrimo for comparison against known motifs). Jaspar [http://jaspar.genereg.net/html/DOWNLOAD/JASPAR_CORE/pfm/nonredundant/] has known motifs of plants that you can use as comparison while running Tomtom or Centrimo from Meme-suit.
