Gene Details:

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.
