Gene Details:
Functional Descriptions:
- StAN11, a WD40-repeat gene, was cloned from potato cultivar Chieftain (Solanum tuberosum L.). StAN11 (HQ599506) contained no intron and its open reading frame (ORF) was 1,029bp long, encoding a putative protein of 342 amino acids.
- The color of transgenic tuber skin was significantly deepened, compared to the wild-type control, which was highly consistent with the accumulation of anthocyanin and expression of StAN11 in transgenic lines tuber skin.
- The StAN11 gene is a homolog of a regulatory gene that is involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway.
- Overexpression of StAN11 promotes anthocyanin accumulation in transgenic potato tuber skin.
- This result suggested that StAN11 regulated anthocyanin biosynthesis in potato by controlling DFR expression and accumulation of anthocyanin could be increased through overexpression of StAN11 in the tubers with the genetic background of anthocyanin biosynthesis.
