ZFP1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400022777, designated StZFP1 on potato chromosome 1, encodes a C2H2-type zinc-finger protein belonging to the ZFP3-like family. The product localises to the nucleus and binds zinc. This gene is associated with the downregulation of abscisic acid-mediated signaling and is linked to chewing. StZFP1 is also associated with salt tolerance (SALTTL). Related genes in other species have linked the gene family to drought tolerance. The gene shares sequence similarity with several ZFP3 and ZFP4 homologues.
