DAD1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400010859, also known as DAD1, LOX1.5, or StLOX1, encodes a lipoxygenase enzyme on potato chromosome 8. The product possesses linoleate 9S- and 13S-lipoxygenase activities and contains characteristic lipoxygenase and PLAT/LH2 domains. This gene is associated with the lipoxygenase pathway, membrane breakdown, and the regulation of hormone levels. It has been connected to numerous agronomically important traits including tuber development, starch yield and content, sugar and protein content, carotenoid content, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, and grain size. Associations also extend to stress responses such as drought sensitivity, heat tolerance, salt tolerance, oxidative stress tolerance, and pathogen resistance, including resistance to Fusarium graminearum, powdery mildew, and Cucumber mosaic virus. The encoded protein localises to the plastid and cytoplasm.
