ACT — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG400023708 (ACT, also known as AC85C) on potato chromosome 10 encodes an actin-family protein with an actin/actin-like conserved domain, ATPase nucleotide-binding domain, and annotated molecular functions including actin binding, structural constituent of the cytoskeleton, profilin binding, phospholipid binding, protein kinase binding, and protein serine/threonine phosphatase activity. The gene is associated with actin filament-based processes, actin filament stabilization, cell polarization, cytoplasmic streaming, and flavonol metabolism. It is linked to numerous agronomically relevant traits including starch concentration and yield, amylose content, glucose and sucrose content, seed weight and yield, leaf area, vegetative vigor, shoot growth angle, net photosynthetic rate, water stress response, nitrogen and potassium sensitivity, and wheat powdery mildew disease response. Additional associations include root hair growth, drought resistance, aphid resistance, chilling tolerance, and hypersensitive response.
