Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaPSTOL
• Gene Name: phosphorus starvation tolerance 1
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• A PSTOL-like gene, TaPSTOL, controls a number of agronomically important traits in wheat.
• Overexpression and RNAi silencing of TaPSTOL in transgenic wheat lines showed that there was a significant effect upon root biomass, flowering time independent of P treatment, tiller number and seed yield, correlating with the expression of TaPSTOL.
• We also identified two phenotypes associated with the TaPSTOL locus which were not observed in rice, showing that TaPSTOL modulates wheat flowering time and seed size.
• Manipulation of TaPSTOL expression in wheat shows it is responsible for many of the previously described phenotypic advantages as OsPSTOL except yield. Furthermore, we show TaPSTOL contributes to additional agronomically important traits including flowering time and grain size.
