CF-9 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC03G082780.3, the tomato CF-9 gene on chromosome 3, encodes a transmembrane receptor protein kinase with serine/threonine kinase activity and ATP binding, belonging to the RLP23-like family with leucine-rich repeat domains. The encoded product is associated with innate immune response activating cell surface receptor signaling, immune memory response, hydrogen peroxide metabolic process, metabolic burst, and ethylene anabolism. It has been connected to extracellular and plasma membrane localization, as well as regulation of meristem development, callus formation, regeneration, anther wall tapetum development, and megasporogenesis. Associations also include leaf chlorosis and stomatal opening. Studies of related genes in other species link the CF-9 family to protein serine kinase activity (EC 2.7.11.1).
