30G (LSAT_V11C600337610) — Lactuca sativa

Summary

Ls30G (30G) on chromosome 6 of garden lettuce encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with a wide range of molecular functions, including RISC complex binding, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, and numerous other enzymatic activities. It is linked to biological processes such as positive regulation of miRNA metabolism, activation of syringal lignin anabolism, and fumarate metabolism. Associations with traits include ferulic acid content, starch grain size, zinc content, fruit yield, and spot blotch response. The gene is also connected to phenotypes like iron-deficiency response, low phosphorus stress tolerance, immunity-associated programmed cell death, and root growth under alkaline stress. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed development, pathogen response, and drought sensitivity.
