Gene Details:
- Gene ID: PGSC0003DMT400060057
- Gene Symbol: StSP6A
- Gene Name: SELF-PRUNING 6A
- Genome:
- Species: Solanum tuberosum
Functional Descriptions:
- The tuberization signal StSP6A represses flower bud development in potato.
- Reducing StSP6A expression improved flower bud development, and increasing expression impaired it.
- The tuberization signal StSP6A inhibits flower bud development and only the repression of this signal improves flower bud development.
- Our results show that flower bud development in potato is repressed by the tuberization signal StSP6A, and not by competition with the underground tuber sink.
- The direct physical interaction between StSWEET11 and StSP6A proteins represents a link between the sugar and photoperiodic pathways for the regulation of potato tuber formation.
