Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc08g067180
• Gene Symbol: SlJUL
• Gene Name: RanBP2-type domain-containing protein
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• On the contrary, a complete loss-of-function in SlJUL resulted in the prolific phloem tissue and severe growth retardation which most likely is responsible for the compromised plant yield.
• The SlJUL knockdown did not cause growth retardation, but enhanced phloem development and transport capacity, leading to a significantly increased fruit set and sugar content in tomato.
• SlJUL functions as a negative regulator of phloem differentiation in tomato.
• The suppression of SlJUL increases the number of phloem cells and sucrose transport, but only an optimal reduction of SlJUL function greatly enhances sink strength in tomato, improving fruit setting, and yield contents by 37% and 60%, respectively.
