Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: StbZIP61
• Gene Name:
• Genome:
• Species: Solanum tuberosum

Functional Descriptions:

• The potato transcription factor StbZIP61 regulates dynamic biosynthesis of salicylic acid in defense against Phytophthora infestans infection.
• Overexpression of StbZIP61 increased the tolerance of potato plants to P. infestans while RNA interference (RNAi) increased susceptibility.
• Identified and characterized the defense-related function of a bZIP transcription factor gene, StbZIP61, from Solanum tuberosum. We observed that overexpression of StbZIP61 enhanced tolerance to P. infestans in potato plants, while knockdown of StbZIP61 by RNAi increased susceptibility.
• Our data demonstrate that StbZIP61 functions in concert with StNPR3L to regulate the temporal activation of SA biosynthesis, which contributes to SA-mediated immunity against P. infestans infection in potato.
