Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc07g043390
• Gene Symbol: CslG2
• Gene Name: cellulose synthase-like protein G2
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• The development of secondary xylem (blue-coloured parts) was highly inhibited in tomato stems by the silencing of Solyc07g043390.
• Solyc07g043390 may play a critical role in cell wall metabolism in various tomato tissues, including xylem and epidermis.
• The cellulose synthase-like protein G2 gene (CslG2; Solyc07g043390) was extremely down-regulated upon TYLCV infection. Cellulose synthesis genes play critical roles in cell wall biosynthesis, cell elongation and plant growth.
