Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc06g074120
• Gene Symbol: SlBEL2
• Gene Name: BEL1-LIKE HOMEODOMAIN 2
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• Transcription factor SlBEL2 interferes with GOLDEN2-LIKE and influences green shoulder formation in tomato fruits.
• Phenotypic analysis of SlBEL2 overexpression (OE-SlBEL2) and SlBEL2 knockout (KO-SlBEL2) plants revealed that SlBEL2 has the function of inhibiting green shoulder formation in tomato fruits by affecting the development of fruit chloroplasts.
• SlBEL2 plays a negative regulatory role during fruit chloroplast development by inhibiting the function of SlGLK2, providing new insights into the molecular mechanism of green shoulder formation in fruits.
• SlBEL2 regulates chloroplast development in tomato fruits by affecting the expression of chloroplast-related genes.
• Our study reveals that SlBEL2 affects the formation of green shoulder in tomato fruits by negatively regulating the gradient expression of SlGLK2, thus providing new insights into the molecular mechanism of fruit green shoulder formation.
