Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc03g123860
• Gene Symbol: PORK1
• Gene Name: PEPR1/2 ORTHOLOG RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE1
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• PORK1 Is Required for Tomato Seedling Growth Response to Systemin Peptide.
• Tomato PORK1 RNA interference (RNAi) plants with significantly reduced PORK1 expression showed increased susceptibility to tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta), reduced seedling growth sensitivity to the systemin peptide, and compromised systemin-mediated resistance to Botrytis cinerea.
• Here, we describe the identification of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) PEPR1/2 ORTHOLOG RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE1 (PORK1) as the TOMATO PROTEIN KINASE1b (TPK1b) interacting protein and demonstrate its biological functions in systemin signaling and tomato immune responses.
• Our data suggest that resistance to B. cinerea and M. sexta is dependent on PORK1-mediated responses to systemin and subsequent phosphorylation of TPK1b. Altogether, PORK1 regulates tomato systemin, wounding, and immune responses.
