Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc11g069500
• Gene Symbol: SlARF10
• Gene Name: auxin response factor 10
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• SlARF10, an auxin response factor, is involved in chlorophyll and sugar accumulation during tomato fruit development.
• Overexpression of SlARF10 in fruit produced a dark-green phenotype whilst knock-down by RNAi produced a light-green phenotype.
• Overexpression of SlARF10 positively affected photosynthesis in both leaves and fruit.
• SlARF10-overexpression lines displayed improved accumulation of starch, fructose, and sucrose in fruit, whilst SlARF10-RNAi lines showed decreased accumulation of starch and sucrose. Regulation of SlARF10 expression altered the expression of AGPase starch biosynthesis genes.
• Our results thus indicate that SlARF10 is involved in chlorophyll accumulation by transcriptional activation of SlGLK1 expression in tomato fruit, and provide insights into the link between auxin signaling, chloroplast activity, and sugar metabolism during tomato fruit development.
