PLP1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StPLP1 (PGSC0003DMG400008749) on potato chromosome 8 encodes a protein with a PNPLA domain and acyltransferase/lysophospholipase activity, annotated as a monoacylglycerol lipase, glycerophospholipase, and lipase with nutrient reservoir activity. It is associated with oxylipin and jasmonic acid anabolism, lipolysis, auxin anabolism, protein storage, and responses to cadmium and hypersensitivity. The gene is linked to traits including turgor pressure, auxin content, ethylene sensitivity, leaf size, and photosynthetic rate, as well as cell death and oxylipin biosynthesis. Related genes in other species are associated with resistance to Botrytis cinerea, Pseudomonas syringae, and Cucumber mosaic virus, along with associations with drought tolerance, salt tolerance, cold tolerance, disease resistance, and phosphorus and iron stress responses.
