Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc02g087860
• Gene Symbol: Style2.1
• Gene Name: Transcription factor style2.1
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• Style2.1 controls the first step of exserted stigmas to flush stigmas, and SE3.1 controls the second step of flush stigmas to inserted stigmas.
• Style2.1 contribute to the transition from stigma exsertion to insertion during the domestication and improvement of tomato.
• A 450-bp deletion in the promoter region of Style2.1 converts long styles to short styles and thus, is responsible for the transition from stigma exsertion to stigma insertion that accompanied the evolution of self-pollination in cultivated tomato.
• The functions of SE3.1 and Style2.1 in controlling the degree of stigma exsertion and propose a two-step model for the regulation of the degree of stigma exsertion during the domestication and improvement of tomato.
