FER2 — Solanum tuberosum
Summary
PGSC0003DMG400027119, designated StFER2 on potato chromosome 5, encodes a ferritin with ferroxidase activity (EC 1.16.3.1) that binds ferric and ferrous iron. The gene is associated with cellular iron ion homeostasis, iron transport, and response to oxidative stress. It has been connected to starch anabolism, cold acclimation, and nitric oxide storage. Localisation evidence links the product to the cytoplasm and chloroplast. StFER2 is associated with agronomically relevant traits including linoleic acid content, biomass yield, and protein content. Related genes in other species are linked to high temperature stress response.
