Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Solyc10g85830
- Gene Symbol: SlCOMT2
- Gene Name: caffeic acid O-methyltransferase 2
- 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 caffeic acid O-methyltransferase 2 (SlCOMT2).
- The SlphyB2-SlPIF4-SlCOMT2 module mediates red light-induced melatonin biosynthesis in tomato fruit.
