CF-9 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC06G033950.1, the tomato CF-9 gene on chromosome 6, encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain-containing protein with signaling receptor activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, and steroid, SNARE, and ATP binding. It is associated with the upregulation of defense responses, activation of defense against bacteria, hydrogen peroxide metabolic and metabolic burst processes, immune memory, and glutathione metabolism. The gene is linked to leaf chlorosis and stomatal opening. Its product localizes to the plasma membrane, ER membrane, perinuclear ER, cortical ER, endosome, and nucleus, and is associated with meristem development, callus formation, regeneration, megasporogenesis, microtubule bundling, homologous recombination, and deubiquitination. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to non-race-specific disease resistance and pattern recognition.
