ERS — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlERS (SOLYC05G055070.4) on tomato chromosome 5 encodes a protein with dual-specificity protein kinase activity, histidine phosphotransfer kinase activity, phosphorelay sensor kinase activity, histidine kinase activity, anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase activity, ethylene receptor activity, ethene binding, copper binding, ribosome binding, translation initiation factor activity, histone binding, chromatin binding, and histidine kinase binding, and contains GAF, histidine kinase, and receiver domains. It is associated with detection of ethene stimulus and the jasmonic acid/ethene-dependent systemic resistance, ethene mediated signaling pathway. The gene is linked to fruit ripening, fruit firmness, fruit color, fruit set timing, fruit shelf life, and fruit longevity. It has been connected to leaf carbon content, leaf area, leaf number, leaf shattering, leaf development, shoot fresh weight, root number, adventitious root formation, anther morphology, photosynthetic ability, respiration rate, drought tolerance, drought resistance, temperature stress response, water stress response, nematode damage response, aphid resistance, susceptibility to powdery mildew, herbicide sensitivity, sulfur sensitivity, aluminum response, phosphorus response, iron concentration, and lignin biosynthesis.
