CF-9 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC01G005870.3, the tomato CF-9 gene on chromosome 1, encodes a transmembrane receptor protein kinase with serine/threonine kinase activity, steroid and SNARE binding capabilities, and protein heterodimerization activity. The product belongs to the RLP23-like family and contains leucine-rich repeat domains. This gene is associated with innate immune response activating cell surface receptor signaling, immune memory response, hydrogen peroxide metabolic process, metabolic burst, ethylene anabolism, and deubiquitination. It is linked to meristem development, regulation of meristem development, skotomorphogenesis, callus formation, regeneration, microtubule bundling, homologous recombination, gene conversion, and transposition. Localization evidence connects the product to the plasma membrane, endosome, and extracellular region. The gene has been associated with leaf chlorosis and stomatal opening. Studies of related genes in other species link the CF-9 family to pattern recognition receptor functions.
