CF-9 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC06G008270.2, the tomato CF-9 gene on chromosome 6, encodes a transmembrane receptor protein kinase with serine/threonine kinase activity and ATP binding, belonging to the leucine-rich repeat (LRR) receptor-like protein family. This gene is associated with innate immune response activating cell surface receptor signaling, upregulation of defense response, activation of defense response to bacteria, and hydrogen peroxide metabolic process. It is linked to ethylene anabolism, glutathione metabolism, and metabolic burst, as well as immune memory response, gene conversion, homologous recombination, and deubiquitination. Localization evidence connects CF-9 to the plasma membrane, extracellular region, endoplasmic reticulum membrane, and nucleus. The gene has been associated with leaf chlorosis and stomatal opening. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to pattern-triggered immunity.
