ETR3 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

ETR3 (SOLYC12G038690.1) in tomato encodes a protein with C2H4 receptor activity, ethene binding, phosphorelay sensor kinase activity, metal binding, and ATP binding, and is localized to the ER membrane. This gene is associated with fruit development and ripening, lycopene anabolism, ethylene anabolism, response to ethylene, flower development, pollen tube growth, syngamy, response to ozone, virus-induced PTGS, NO storage, metabolic burst, and downregulation of ethylene-mediated signaling. It is also linked to lycopene content. Related genes in other species connect the family to histidine kinase activity (EC 2.7.13.3).
