FHA — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC12G057040.2, also known as CRY1, encodes a cryptochrome photoreceptor protein in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) on chromosome 12. The product possesses DNA photolyase activity, blue light photoreceptor activity, and histone kinase activity, among other molecular functions. This gene is associated with resistance to Pseudomonas syringae, fruit antioxidant content, vegetative development, and internode length in tomato. It is associated with numerous traits including grain yield, leaf chlorophyll content, fruit length, seed set, photoperiod sensitivity, blue and red light sensitivity, UV light sensitivity, and glyphosate sensitivity. The protein localizes to chloroplast nucleoids, nuclear bodies, and the cytosol, and is linked to processes such as photoreactive repair, regulation of post-embryonic development, detection of light, and plastid gene expression.
