NTF4 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

NTF4 (SOLYC12G019460.2) on tomato chromosome 12 encodes a protein with a serine/threonine kinase domain and a MAP kinase active site, annotated with MAPKK activity, protein tyrosine kinase activity, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with numerous biological processes including response to phenylpropanoid, arginine metabolism, and induction of programmed cell death, as well as growth and developmental processes such as root elongation and vegetative structure development. It is linked to a wide range of agronomically important traits including fruit size and shape, seed weight, leaf chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, harvest index, and high temperature stress response. The encoded protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus.
