CF-9 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC07G005150.3, also known as CF-9 or SlRLP30, encodes a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) with protein serine/threonine kinase activity and ATP binding, belonging to the RLP23-like and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain families. In tomato, this gene is associated with immune response-regulating cell surface receptor signaling, activation of innate immune response, defense response to parasitic plants, hydrogen peroxide metabolic process, metabolic burst, and immune memory response. It is also linked to meristem development, regeneration, gene conversion, homologous recombination, transposition, deubiquitination, glutathione metabolism, and endoplasmic reticulum localization. The encoded protein localizes to the plasma membrane and cell boundary. Associations with leaf chlorosis and stomatal opening have been noted. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to additional immune functions.
