CF-9 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC12G099880.1, also known as CF-9, encodes a protein containing plant-specific leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains. In tomato, this gene is associated with hydrogen peroxide metabolic processes, immune memory responses, and metabolic burst. It is linked to ethylene anabolism, glutathione metabolism, deubiquitination, regulation of meristem development, and meristem development, as well as embryogenesis, callus formation, and regeneration. The encoded protein localizes to the plasmalemma and is associated with leaf chlorosis and stomatal opening. Related genes in other species, such as the CF-9 homologues 9DC, 9DC2, and 9DC3, are linked by sequence similarity.
