APIC — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400014627 (APIC) on potato chromosome 6 encodes a glutathione S-transferase (GST) belonging to the phi class, as indicated by its GST_Phi_C and GST_C domains, and possesses glutathione transferase activity, glutathione binding, and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including responses to hormones, water, and xenobiotic stimuli, as well as terpene, hormone, salicylic acid, and sucrose metabolism. It is also linked to NADPH regeneration, oxidative phosphorylation, and toxin breakdown. At the trait level, APIC has been connected to drought tolerance, salt response, water use efficiency, and contents of chlorophyll, anthocyanin, sucrose, sugar, proline, soluble protein, and hydrogen peroxide, as well as shoot fresh weight and rhizome formation. The encoded protein localises to the cytoplasm and macromolecular complexes.
