PGK — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlPGK (SOLYC07G066600.3) encodes a phosphoglycerate kinase, an enzyme with phosphoglycerate kinase activity that also binds ATP, ADP, mRNA, and metal ions. This gene is associated with the reductive pentose-phosphate cycle, glycolytic process, gluconeogenesis, regulation of photosynthesis, and ATP, amino acid, polyamine, and galactolipid anabolism. It localizes to chloroplast stroma, thylakoid, stromule, plastid, and plasmodesmata. SlPGK is linked to leaf thickness, fruit firmness, fruit color, fruit weight, chlorophyll content, starch and protein content, net photosynthetic rate, quantum yield, photochemical quenching, respiration rate, root morphology, plant growth and development, and salt tolerance. It is also linked to autophagy regulation, pollen tube growth polarity, chloroplast development, carbon fixation, and resistance to Plum pox virus.
