FG — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StFG (PGSC0003DMG400027475) on potato chromosome 7 encodes a CONSTANS-like protein containing B-box and CCT domains, and is annotated with diverse molecular functions including OGTase, peptide-O-fucosyltransferase, and histone methylase activities. The gene is associated with regulation of phytochrome signaling, photoperiodic flowering, chlorophyll breakdown, zeatin biosynthesis, and responses to light quality and starvation. It has been linked to numerous agronomic traits including tuber size, photoperiod sensitivity, vegetative vigor, leaf morphology, iron content, seed protein content, and responses to water stress, nitrogen, glyphosate, and nematodes. Related genes in other species are associated with photoperiod-dependent flowering, tuberization, stress tolerance, root architecture, and disease resistance.
