ANY1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400006799, designated StANY1 (also known as StCESA3), encodes a cellulose synthase (UDP-forming) with additional protein-cysteine S-palmitoyltransferase activity, microtubule binding, and DNA-binding transcription factor activity. It localizes to the cellulose synthase complex, cortical microtubules, and the plasma membrane. StANY1 is associated with primary and secondary cell wall biogenesis, cell wall thickening, phytoalexin biosynthesis, and responses to nitrosative stress. The gene has been connected to numerous agronomic traits including plant vigor, biomass yield, stem elongation, net photosynthetic rate, starch content, seed protein content, and herbicide sensitivity. It is also linked to root hair development, anther morphology, seed mucilage attachment, and defense responses. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cellulose content, plant growth, secondary wall thickening, jasmonate signaling, and resistance to bacterial pathogens.
