Basic information
Locus name	Solyc06g072430
Alias	SlBAG2
Organism	Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)
Taxonomic identifier	[NCBI]
Function category
Effect for Senescence	delay
Gene Description	The Bcl-2-associated athanogene (BAG) family is a group of evolutionarily conserved cochaperones involved in diverse cellular functions.overexpressing BAG2 and BAG5b had significantly increased chlorophyll contents, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and photosynthetic rates but obviously decreased ROS levels, chlorophyll degradation and leaf senescence related gene expression under dark stress. Conclusively, overexpression SlBAG2 and SlBAG5b could improve the tolerance of tomato leaves to dark stress and delay leaf senescence.
