ANS — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StANS (PGSC0003DMG400011098) on potato chromosome 10 encodes a 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase with jasmonic acid hydrolase, leucocyanidin oxygenase, flavonol synthase, and ACC oxidase activities. It is associated with anthocyanin, flavonoid, coumarin, and ethylene biosynthesis, as well as pigmentation, secondary metabolism, and starch metabolism. The gene is linked to regulation of jasmonic acid-mediated signaling, downregulation of defense responses to insects, and defense responses to fungi and oomycetes. Associations include starch content, anthocyanin content, photosynthetic rate, drought stress tolerance, spider mite resistance, and biotic stress tolerance. It localizes to the cytosol and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to jasmonic acid response and disease resistance.
