Gene Details:
- Gene ID:
- Gene Symbol: TPK1b
- Gene Name: TOMATO PROTEIN KINASE 1b
- Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
- Species: Solanum lycopersicum
Functional Descriptions:
- TPK1b, a key regulator of tomato defense against B. cinerea and M. sexta, was phosphorylated by PORK1.
- Here, we describe the identification of the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) PEPR1/2 ORTHOLOG RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE1 (PORK1) as the TOMATO PROTEIN KINASE1b (TPK1b) interacting protein and demonstrate its biological functions in systemin signaling and tomato immune responses.
- Interestingly, wounding- and systemin-induced phosphorylation of TPK1b was attenuated when PORK1 expression was suppressed.
- Our data suggest that resistance to B. cinerea and M. sexta is dependent on PORK1-mediated responses to systemin and subsequent phosphorylation of TPK1b. Altogether, PORK1 regulates tomato systemin, wounding, and immune responses.
