FLS2 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC02G070910.3, the tomato FLS2 gene on chromosome 2, encodes a transmembrane receptor serine/threonine kinase with leucine-rich repeat domains and is annotated with peptide hormone binding and receptor activity. This gene is associated with bacterial disease response, immune signaling, and disease resistance, as well as with stomatal resistance, brassinosteroid sensitivity, and self-incompatibility. It has been linked to abscisic acid signaling, calcium signaling, shade avoidance response, root elongation, and mannitol stress tolerance. Localization evidence links the product to the plasma membrane, cell wall, plasmodesmata, and endoplasmic reticulum. Related genes in other species are associated with pathogen resistance, and sequence similarity associations connect the family to traits including days to flowering, sulfur content, and acid sensitivity.
