CAF — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlCAF (SOLYC08G067210.3) encodes a protein containing Dicer dimerisation, RNase III, PAZ, dsRBD, and helicase domains, and is annotated with ribonuclease III, helicase, DNA demethylase, and RNA methyltransferase activities. The gene is associated with activation of RNAi, miRNA and siRNA processing, gene silencing, seed maturation, suspensor development, and adaxial/abaxial pattern formation. It localizes to the nucleus, nucleolus, cytosol, and nuclear speck. SlCAF is linked to virus resistance, antiviral defense, herbivore resistance, jasmonic acid-isoleucine accumulation, and resistance to Fusarium brachygibbosum and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Associations also include leaf and floral morphology, sugar and starch content, root development, phototropism response, osmotic response sensitivity, and vegetative vigor. Related genes in other species are linked to small RNA biogenesis, systemic silencing, embryo development, and abiotic stress resistance.
