Not specifically a command, no...use the 'xtick' and/or 'xticklabel'
properties to set the number/values.

To cut them in half, for example,

xt=get(gca,'xtick'); % get the current ones
xt(1:2:end)=[]; % wipe out every other one
set(gca,'xtick',xt) % and replace w/ updated

Innumerable variations upon a theme are possible, of course...
