LSAT_V11C900494020 — Lactuca sativa

Summary

Ls30G (30G) on chromosome 9 of garden lettuce encodes a protein containing a 14-3-3 domain, placing it in the 14-3-3 protein family. The gene is associated with a wide range of molecular functions, including RISC complex binding, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity, and xylose isomerase activity, among many others. 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, and immunity-associated programmed cell death. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to processes including iron and potassium deficiency responses, tuber sprouting, miRNA stability, and pathogen response.
