PFK — Solanum tuberosum
Summary
StPFK (PGSC0003DMG400045386) on potato chromosome 4 encodes a phosphofructokinase with 6-phosphofructokinase activity. The gene is associated with glycolytic process, fructose 6-phosphate metabolism, sucrose and starch anabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, cellular response to hypoxia, and NO storage. It has been connected to root epidermal cell differentiation and sugar homeostasis. The product localises to the cytosol, cytoplasm and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the phosphofructokinase family to hexose content, fruit colour, leaf size, photochemical quenching, root morphology traits, and strongly reduced root length with reduced PFK activity.
