Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: SN1
• Gene Name: Snakin-1
• Genome:
• Species: Solanum tuberosum

Functional Descriptions:

• Snakin-1 (SN1), a cysteine-rich peptide with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity in vitro, was evaluated for its ability to confer resistance to pathogens in transgenic potatoes.
• Only transgenic lines that accumulated high levels of SN1 mRNA exhibited significant symptom reductions of R. solani infection such as stem cankers and damping-off.
• Enhanced resistance of transgenic SN1 potato plants to fungal disease.
• Enhanced resistance to these two important potato pathogens suggests in vivo antifungal and antibacterial activity of SN1 and thus its possible biotechnological application.
