PT1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400017226, designated PT1 on potato chromosome 9, encodes a protein belonging to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) with a Phos_permease domain and symporter activity. The gene is associated with phosphate transmembrane transporter activity, phosphate ion transport, carbohydrate and amino acid anabolism, dicarboxylate metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, response to ethylene and amino acids, floral organ senescence, fruit development and ripening, signal transduction, and response to symbiotic fungi. The encoded protein localises to the membrane and plasmalemma. Additionally, PT1 is associated with phosphorus content, phosphorus uptake, and nitrate transport. Related genes in other species are linked to phosphorus concentration.
