Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • LeFRK2 is required for phloem and xylem differentiation and the transport of both sugar and water.
  • It has been suggested that LeFRK2, the major fructose-phosphorylating enzyme in tomato plants, may be required for stem xylem development.
  • Here, we show that suppression of LeFRK2 results in a significant reduction in the size of vascular cells and slows fiber maturation. The vessels in stems of LeFRK2-antisense plants are narrower than in WT plants and have thinner secondary cell walls.
  • Suppression of fructokinase encoded by LeFRK2 in tomato stem inhibits growth and causes wilting of young leaves.
  • These results show that the antisense interstock restricted the downward movement of sucrose, suggesting that LeFRK2 is required for both phloem and xylem development.
  • LeFRK2 might be required for proper development of xylem that affected growth and wilting.
