POTPRO2 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlPOTPRO2 (SOLYC05G051750.3) on tomato chromosome 5 encodes a prosystemin/systemin domain protein with hormone activity. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including responses to biotic stimuli, wound healing, phloem loading, nectar secretion, and oviposition. It is also linked to lycopene and lignan anabolism, cell differentiation regulation, and dehiscence. At the trait level, SlPOTPRO2 has been connected to leaf weight, shoot dry weight, leaf water potential, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, drought tolerance, ethylene sensitivity, self-incompatibility, and lycopene content. The protein localises to the cytoplasm.
