Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: IbLEA14
• Gene Name: Late embryogenesis abundant 14
• Genome:
• Species: Ipomoea batatas

Functional Descriptions:

• Sweetpotato late embryogenesis abundant 14 (IbLEA14) gene influences lignification and increases osmotic- and salt stress-tolerance of transgenic calli.
• IbLEA14 expression was strongly induced by dehydration, NaCl and abscisic acid treatments in sweetpotato plants.
• Transgenic calli overexpressing IbLEA14 showed enhanced tolerance to drought and salt stress, whereas RNAi calli exhibited increased stress sensitivity.
• Transgenic calli overexpressing IbLEA14 showed enhanced tolerance to drought and salt stress, whereas RNAi calli exhibited increased stress sensitivity. Under normal culture conditions, lignin contents increased in IbLEA14-overexpressing calli because of the increased expression of a variety of monolignol biosynthesis-related genes.
• These results suggest that IbLEA14 might positively regulate the response to various stresses by enhancing lignification.
