Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: StNAC103
  • Gene Name: NAC transcription factor 103
  • Genome:
  • Species: Solanum tuberosum

Functional Descriptions:

  • Silencing of the potato StNAC103 gene enhances the accumulation of suberin polyester and associated wax in tuber skin.
  • The StNAC103 promoter is active in cells undergoing suberization such as in the basal layer of the phellem, but also in the root apical meristem.
  • This work suggests that the periderm apoplastic barrier is finely regulated and that StNAC103 is involved in this regulatory network.
  • Our results suggest that StNAC103 has a role in the tight regulation of the formation of apoplastic barriers and is, to the best of our knowledge, the first candidate gene to be identified as being involved in the repression of suberin and wax deposition.
