DDE1 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC07G007870.3, also known as DDE1 or OPR3, encodes a 12-oxophytodienoate reductase, an oxidoreductase with FMN binding and NAD(P)H-dependent activity that belongs to the Oye-like family. In tomato, this gene is associated with jasmonic acid biosynthesis and signaling, and has been linked to diverse processes including anther dehiscence, male fertility, pollen viability, nectar secretion, wound and touch responses, and defense against insects, nematodes, and fungal pathogens. Associations also extend to seed maturation and dormancy, drought and freezing tolerance, oxidative stress response, leaf length, trichome morphology, amino acid content, and the production of sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes. The gene is further associated with cellular respiration, NADPH regeneration, lipid oxidation, and hormone metabolism, with its product localizing to the cytosol and peroxisomes.
