Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Soltu.DM.06G026030.1
- Gene Symbol: StAST1
- Gene Name: TCP protein 1
- Genome: Spud DB (http://spuddb.uga.edu/)
- Species: Solanum tuberosum
Functional Descriptions:
- TCP transcription factor StAST1 represses potato tuberization by regulating tuberigen complex activity.
- Silencing of StAST1 leads to accelerated tuberization and a shortened life cycle. Molecular dissection reveals that the interaction of StAST1 with StSP6A and StABL1 attenuates the formation of the alternative tuberigen activation complex (aTAC).
- Observed StAST1 directly activates the expression of potato GA 20-oxidase gene (StGA20ox1) to regulate GA responses.
- These results demonstrate StAST1 functions as a tuberization repressor by regulating plant hormone levels.
