Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc06g008590
• Gene Symbol: Sl-IAA17
• Gene Name: auxin/indole acetic acid 17
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• The Auxin Sl-IAA17 Transcriptional Repressor Controls Fruit Size Via the Regulation of Endoreduplication-Related Cell Expansion.
• Silencing of Sl-IAA17 by an RNA interference (RNAi) strategy resulted in the production of larger fruit than the wild type. Histological analyses of the fruit organ and tissues demonstrated that this phenotype was associated with a thicker pericarp, rather than larger locules and/or a larger number of seeds.
• Microscopic analysis demonstrated that the higher pericarp thickness in Sl-IAA17 RNAi fruits was not due to a larger number of cells, but to the increase in cell size.
• The down-regulation of Sl-IAA17 increases the pericarp cell size and nuclear ploidy levels.
