PR5 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SlPR5 (SOLYC11G013300.2) encodes a thaumatin-like protein belonging to the osmotin/thaumatin-like superfamily. In tomato, this gene is associated with regulation of proline anabolism, lycopene anabolism, salicylic acid anabolism, auxin anabolism, ethylene anabolism, chlorophyll anabolism, induced systemic resistance, response to arachidonate, response to host, spore germination, fermentation, photoperiodism, and metabolic burst. It is linked to traits such as fruit shape, sugar content, protein content, seed size, stomatal opening, and sensitivity to acid and abscisic acid. The encoded protein localises to the extracellular space. Related genes in other species encode pathogenesis-related thaumatin-like proteins and pollen allergens.
