GT72B1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StGT72B1 (PGSC0003DMG400035976) on potato chromosome 1 encodes a UDP-glycosyltransferase with hydroquinone, anthocyanidin 3-O-, isoflavone 7-O- and quercetin 3-O-glucosyltransferase activities. The gene is associated with anthocyanin, flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, lignin and saponin anabolism, as well as starch anabolism, sucrose metabolism, cell wall modification, fatty acid elongation, fermentation, amino acid anabolism, primary metabolism, xenobiotic breakdown, response to toxic substances, NO storage, cell death and signal transduction. It is linked to starch yield, starch content and anthocyanin content, and to xenobiotic metabolism, detoxification, N-glucosyltransferase activity, lignification and pollutant detoxification. The product localises to the endoplasmic reticulum. Related genes in other species link the family to hydroquinone glucosyltransferase activity and environmental adaptation traits.
