LE — Solanum tuberosum
Summary
StLE (PGSC0003DMG400005698) on potato chromosome 3 encodes a gibberellin 3-beta-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.11.15), a member of the 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase superfamily. The gene is directly associated with tuberization and tuber size in potato. Annotated ontology terms link StLE to gibberellin signaling, response to red or far-red light, defense response to oomycetes, fruit ripening, endosperm development, and starch, chlorophyll, flavonoid, coumarin, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. The gene product localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to gibberellin 3β-hydroxylation, reduced bioactive GA4 levels, plant height, seed dormancy, and delayed starch degradation. Cucumber studies link the family to hypocotyl growth and sex expression.
