Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: MdSPDS1
  • Gene Name: spermidine synthase1
  • Genome: Golden ASM211411v1
  • Species: Malus domestica

Functional Descriptions:

  • Ectopic expression of MdSPDS1 in sweet orange (Citrus sinensis Osbeck) reduces canker susceptibility: involvement of H2O2 production and transcriptional alteration.
  • As for TG9, despite a substantial increase of the MdSPDS1 mRNA, endogenous Spd and Spm levels were just slightly increased, which demonstrated that no direct correlation exists between the transcription level of a biosynthetic gene and the product of the protein activity.
  • Taken together, overexpression of MdSPDS1 increased the endogenous cellular Spm, which may serve as a signal to directly trigger expression of the defense-related genes under normal conditions.
  • Our results demonstrated that overexpression of the MdSPDS1 gene prominently lowered the sensitivity of the transgenic plants to canker.
