Gene Details:

  • Gene ID: Soltu.DM.11G016910
  • Gene Symbol: ScAREB4
  • Gene Name: ABA-responsive element binding protein 4
  • Genome:
  • Species: Solanum tuberosum

Functional Descriptions:

  • ScAREB4 promotes potato constitutive and acclimated freezing tolerance associated with enhancing trehalose synthesis and oxidative stress tolerance.
  • Transgenic assay with overexpression of ScAREB4 showed that ScAREB4 promoted freezing tolerance.
  • Global transcriptome profiling indicated that overexpression of ScAREB4 induced expression of TPS9 (trehalose-6-phosphate synthase) and GSTU8 (glutathione transferase), in accordance with improved TPS activity, trehalose content, higher GST activity and accumulated dramatically less H2O2 in the ScAREB4 overexpressed transgenic lines.
  • ScAREB4 functions as a downstream transcription factor of ABA signalling to promote cold tolerance, which is associated with increased trehalose content and antioxidant capacity.
