Gene Details:
- Gene ID:
- Gene Symbol: LeGGPS2
- Gene Name: geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase2
- Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
- Species: Solanum lycopersicum
Functional Descriptions:
- LeGGPS1 was predominantly expressed in leaf tissue and LeGGPS2 in ripening fruit and flower tissue.
- Expression of LeGGPS2 was not induced in leaves by spider mite-feeding, wounding, JA- or MeSA-treatment.
- This showed that LeGGPS1 transcripts are predominantly present in leaf tissue, whereas LeGGPS2 transcripts are most abundant in fruits and flower organs.
- This treatment led to activation of SA-responsive genes as could be seen from the induction of PRP6. LeGGPS1 was also induced by this MeSA-treatment, whereas transcript levels of LeGGPS2 and WIPI-2 were not affected.
