ELG — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StELG (PGSC0003DMG400021789) on potato chromosome 3 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat domains and a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase domain. This gene is associated with immune complex formation, immune response-regulating signaling, tissue morphogenesis, and anti-apoptosis. It has been linked to numerous traits including grain yield, bacterial blight disease resistance, viral disease response, nematode damage response, brassinosteroid content, hydrogen peroxide content, fruit ripening, lignin biosynthesis, temperature stress response, plant male sterility, and phototropism response. StELG is also connected to phenotypes such as photosynthetic capacity, fungal pathogen resistance, root meristem differentiation, stomatal formation, and antiviral resistance. Studies of related genes in other species link it to cell death control, bacterial disease resistance, oxidative burst, leaf senescence, and waterlogging tolerance.
