ODC — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400009959, designated StDCOR (also known as ODC or DCOR) on potato chromosome 4, encodes a protein with ornithine decarboxylase and lysine decarboxylase activities, belonging to the Orn/DAP/Arg decarboxylase family and containing a PLP-binding barrel domain. The enzyme is annotated with EC 4.1.1.17 and localizes to the cytoplasm. StDCOR is associated with putrescine, polyamine, tyramine, nicotine, and shikimate metabolism, as well as NADPH regeneration, oxidative phosphorylation, wound healing, cell communication, and regeneration. It has been linked to amino acid content, respiration rate, and salt response traits. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought tolerance, chlorophyll content, fruit volume and shape, root length and number, and flavonoid content.
