CDF1 — Solanum tuberosum

Summary

PGSC0003DMG403024509 (CDF1, also known as CPP1 or StCDF1) on potato chromosome 3 encodes a CPP1-like protein with chaperone and protein-binding functions, localizing to plastid and chloroplast membranes, thylakoids, stroma, and mitochondria. CDF1 is associated with maturity, tuberization and its timing, nitrate reduction, nitrogen use efficiency, drought tolerance, heat stress response, and leaf senescence. It is linked to asexual reproduction, meiosis, organogenesis, circadian rhythm, cell cycle, pollen development, protein folding and modification, chloroplast organization, de-etiolation, the shikimate pathway, nitrate assimilation, carbohydrate metabolism, and homeostasis. Associations also include starch yield and content, heterosis, self-incompatibility, photoperiodic flowering, flowering time, hypocotyl elongation, embryogenesis, vine maturity, and chloroplast development. Related genes in other species are linked to chloroplast development and photochemical quenching.
