Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc03g097700
• Gene Symbol: SlASMT5
• Gene Name: trans-resveratrol di-O-methyltransferase
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• SlCOMT2 and SlASMT5 are mainly involved in the synthesis of melatonin catalyzed by n-acetylserotonin.
• We elucidate the full melatonin biosynthesis pathway in tomato fruit by identifying biosynthesis-related genes that encode N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine-methyltransferases 5/7 (SlASMT5/7).
• The functions of biosynthesis-related genes (SlSNAT, SlASMT5, SlASMT7, and SlCOMT2) were identified.
