Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc02g080260
• Gene Symbol: Woolly
• Gene Name: homeobox-leucine zipper protein PROTODERMAL FACTOR 2
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• Woolly, interacting with MYB transcription factor MYB31, regulates cuticular wax biosynthesis by modulating CER6 expression in tomato.
• Woolly (Wo), a multicellular trichome regulator, is involved in modulating wax biosynthesis in tomato.
• As well as expression levels of Woolly and Hair, two regulators of trichome initiation and development in tomato.
• These results demonstrate that Woolly and SlMYB31 cooperatively control tomato cuticular wax biosynthesis by regulating the expression of SlCER6.
