Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc02g021650
• Gene Symbol: SlDDB1
• Gene Name: DAMAGED DNA BINDING PROTEIN 1
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• SlDDB1 seedlings exhibited delayed growth and smaller cell size, greater chloroplast density, smaller chloroplasts and higher concentration of chlorophyll.
• Cotyledons cells of SlDDB1 mutant also displayed abnormal stomatal pattern, reduced content of CDT1 transcript and altered response to cytokinin.
• A mutation in the tomato DDB1 gene affects cell and chloroplast compartment size and CDT1 transcript.
• We show that a tomato homolog of methyl CpG binding domain protein (SlMBD5) interacts physically with SlDDB1, and is potentially in a complex with CUL4-DDB1-DET1.
