LSAT_V11C700382490 — Lactuca sativa

Summary

Ls30G (also known as 30G, TFT10, GF14-MU, and LsRCI1) on chromosome 7 of garden lettuce encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with RISC complex binding and a wide array of molecular functions including glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, xylose isomerase, and fumarate hydratase activities. It is linked to the positive regulation of miRNA metabolic processes, activation of syringal lignin anabolism, and fumarate metabolism. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include ferulic acid content, starch grain size, zinc content, fruit yield, hexose content, and spot blotch response. The gene is also connected to phenotypes such as iron-deficiency response, low phosphorus stress tolerance, root growth under alkaline stress, and cuticle development. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed development, pathogen response, drought sensitivity, and miRNA stability.
