Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc06g084280
• Gene Symbol: SlFAF1 2a
• Gene Name: FAF domain-containing protein
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• SlFAF1/2a is mainly expressed during floral transition phases.
• SlFAF1/2a positively regulates tomato flowering time.
• Here we demonstrate the roles of the FANTASTIC FOUR (FAF) gene family in regulating tomato flowering time. In this plant-specific gene family, SlFAF1/2a shows a constitutive expression pattern during the transition of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) from vegetative to reproductive growth and significantly influences flowering time.
• Overexpressing SlFAF1/2a causes earlier flowering compared with the transformations of other genes in the FAF family.
