Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc10g074910
• Gene Symbol: SlSNAT
• Gene Name: serotonin N-acetyltransferase 1
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• Identified the SlSNAT gene, which is responsible for melatonin biosynthesis in tomato.
• Overexpression of SlSNAT in tomato plants provided significantly enhanced thermotolerance with better growth performance in Photosystem II (PSII) maximum photochemical quantum yield (Fv/Fm) and alleviated heat injury.
• The SlSNAT overexpression line showed protected ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase proteins and upregulated response of heat transcription factors and heat shock proteins under heat stress.
• HSP40 interacted with SlSNAT and together participated in melatonin-related thermotolerance regulation in tomato.
