CF-9 — Solanum lycopersicum

Summary

SOLYC12G100020.1, symbol CF-9, is a tomato gene on chromosome 12 that encodes a transmembrane receptor protein kinase with protein serine/threonine kinase activity and ATP binding, belonging to the RLP23-like and leucine-rich repeat domain families. The gene is associated with innate immune response activating cell surface receptor signaling, hydrogen peroxide metabolic process, metabolic burst, immune memory response, ethylene anabolism, glutathione metabolism, and regulation of meristem development. It has been linked to leaf chlorosis and stomatal opening. Localization evidence connects the product to the extracellular region, membrane, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species, including Hcr2-p3, EIX1, and EIX2, link the CF-9 family to pathogen recognition and defense signaling.
