ARF — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

StARF (PGSC0003DMG401027033) on potato chromosome 6 encodes a protein of the Arf1-5-like family with small GTPase, Arf/SAR, P-loop NTPase, and GTP-binding domains. It is annotated with GTPase activity, GTP binding, protein kinase activity, protein serine/threonine kinase activity, identical protein binding, mRNA binding, protein binding, metal binding, G protein activity, phospholipase activator activity, FMN binding, and blue light photoreceptor activity. The gene is associated with blue light signaling, chloroplast accumulation movement, regulation of proton transport, shoot morphogenesis, auxin anabolism, hypersensitivity, anthocyanin anabolism, intracellular protein transport, protein transport, vesicle transport, NO storage, carbohydrate metabolism, regulation of stomatal movement, fruit ripening, lateral root formation, circadian rhythm, and leaf senescence. Traits linked to StARF include shoot axis phototropism response, phenolic compound content, blue light sensitivity, viral disease response, leaf position, phototropism response, biomass yield, root phototropism response, adventitious rootless, lateral root length, light intensity response, days to flowering, root mass density, water use efficiency, ethylene sensitivity, stomatal resistance, hypocotyl morphology, low temperature stress response, leaf senescence, stomatal opening, chlorophyll content, and plant growth and development. Related genes in other species are associated with phototropic growth, chloroplast relocation, guard cell anion
