CF-9 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC12G099950.3, the tomato CF-9 gene on chromosome 12, encodes a transmembrane receptor protein kinase with protein serine/threonine kinase activity and ATP binding, belonging to the RLP23-like family with leucine-rich repeat domains. The gene is associated with innate immune response activating cell surface receptor signaling, immune memory response, hydrogen peroxide metabolic process, metabolic burst, ethylene anabolism, glutathione metabolism, deubiquitination, and secretion. It is linked to extracellular and plasma membrane localization, as well as post-embryonic plant organ development, meristem development, regeneration, callus formation, gene conversion, homologous recombination, and transposition. Associations with leaf chlorosis and stomatal opening have also been noted. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to protein serine/threonine kinase activity (EC 2.7.11.1).
