FLS2 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlFLS2, encoded by tomato gene SOLYC02G068820.3 on chromosome 2, is a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with leucine-rich repeat domains and ATP-binding activity. It is associated with activation of immune response, PTI signalling, the MAPK cascade, and membrane fission. The gene has been associated with bacterial disease response, self-incompatibility, and stomatal resistance. Its product localises to the plasma membrane, extracellular region, endoplasmic reticulum membrane, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to serine/threonine kinase activity (EC 2.7.11.1).
