Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc11g072630
• Gene Symbol: SlMPK4
• Gene Name: Mitogen-activated protein kinase
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• SlMPK4 is preferentially and highly expressed in tomato stamens and its mRNA levels increase during early flower development, peaking at the mature pollen stage.
• Suppression of SlMPK4 affects the transcript level of genes related to cell wall formation and modification, cell signal transduction, and metabolic and biosynthetic processes.
• SlMPK4 plays a critical role in regulating pollen development and fruit development in tomato plants.
