Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc10g076390
• Gene Symbol: SlBES1.8
• Gene Name: Brassinazole-resistant 1
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• Tomato transcriptional repressor SlBES1.8 influences shoot apical meristem development by inhibiting the DNA binding ability of SlWUS.
• Identified a tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) BES1 transcription factor, SlBES1.8, that is specifically expressed in the SAM and flower and functions as a transcriptional repressor.
• Overexpression of SlBES1.8 resulted in enlarged SAM and extra floral organs in tomato, which eventually led to the formation of pepper-like fruit with increased soluble sugar and organic acid contents.
• Our findings suggest that SlBES1.8 serves as a novel co-regulator of SlWUS to influence the development of the SAM.
