ELG — Solanum lycopersicum
Summary
SlELG (SOLYC05G005140.4) encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with multiple annotated molecular functions including calcium-dependent phospholipid binding, guanylyl cyclase activity, and peptide receptor activity. In tomato, SlELG is associated with potato aphid resistance. The gene has been linked to a wide range of biological processes including immune response-regulating signaling, homeostasis of meristem cell number, negative regulation of seed maturation, and cellular response to UV-B. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include fruit ripening, grain yield, bacterial blight disease resistance, viral disease response, brassinosteroid content, hydrogen peroxide content, and temperature stress response. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to immunity, cell death control, bacterial disease resistance, and somatic embryogenesis.
