Gene Details:

• Gene ID: cassava32745
• Gene Symbol: MePSY3
• Gene Name: phytoene synthase3
• Genome: cassava genome assembly version 1.1(http://www.phytozome.net/cassava.php)
• Species: Manihot esculenta

Functional Descriptions:

• We also found three PSY genes in cassava, one of which (MePSY3) forms a separate branch with the stress-specific Poaceae homologs.
• MePSY1 and MePSY2, but not MePSY3 respond towards salt-stress treatment.
• MePSY3 transcripts did not respond to salt-stress treatment in roots and leaves, remaining at the detection limit although this PSY groups with stress-responsive homologs of the Poaceae.
