DCF — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StDCF (PGSC0003DMG400031731) on potato chromosome 3 encodes an acyltransferase with caffeoyl-CoA:alcohol caffeoyl transferase, acetyl-coenzyme A:acetyl alcohol acetyltransferase, shikimate O-hydroxycinnamoyltransferase, rosmarinate synthase, and hydroxycinnamoyltransferase activities. The gene is associated with suberin biosynthetic process, cutin anabolism, alkyl caffeate ester anabolism, cell wall pectin biosynthesis, ferulate metabolism, wound healing, skin development, climacteric fruit ripening, response to ethylene, circadian rhythm, and green leaf volatile biosynthesis. It is linked to suberin synthesis, suberin aromatic biosynthesis, cuticle formation, alkyl caffeate synthesis, and salt stress tolerance. The protein localises to the plastid and cytosol. Related genes in other species link the family to ferulic acid content, drought tolerance, root morphology, and days to flowering.
