PR5 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlPR5 (SOLYC01G086830.4) encodes a protein belonging to the DIR1-like and bifunctional inhibitor/lipid-transfer/seed-storage family. In tomato, this gene is associated with the regulation of proline, ergosterol, lycopene, salicylic acid, auxin, chlorophyll, and ethylene anabolism, as well as induced systemic resistance, the response to a host, spore germination, fermentation, mRNA breakdown, meiosis, photoperiodism, pistil development, metabolic burst, RNA metabolism, and localization. SlPR5 has also been linked to fruit shape, sugar content, protein content, seed size, stomatal opening, and sensitivity to acid and abscisic acid, along with a specific salt-tolerance trait (SALTTL).
