Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc09g089580
• Gene Symbol: SlE8
• Gene Name: C-27 hydroxylase
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• Induced mutations in SlE8 and SlACO1 control tomato fruit maturation and shelf-life.
• The data demonstrated that slaco1-1 and slaco1-2 alleles could be used to improve fruit shelf-life, and that SlE8-1 and SlE8-2 alleles could be used to accelerate ripening.
• Tomato E8 Encodes a C-27 Hydroxylase in Metabolic Detoxification of α-Tomatine during Fruit Ripening.
• E8/SlE8 functions as a C-27 hydroxylase of lycoperoside C in the metabolic detoxification of α-tomatine during tomato fruit ripening, and the efficient detoxification by E8/27DOX may provide an advantage in the domestication of cultivated tomatoes.
• These results demonstrated that SlE8 is a negative regulator of ethylene biosynthesis during flowering and fruit development.
• This study highlights further the importance of SlACO1 and SlE8 in ethylene production in tomato fruit and how they might be used for post-harvest fruit preservation or speeding up fruit maturation.
