ABCA — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_08026 (VdABCA) on Verticillium dahliae chromosome DS572712 encodes an ATP-dependent permease PDR10, belonging to the ABCG/PDR transporter family with ATP hydrolase and ATP-binding activities. The product localises to the plasma membrane and membrane. This gene is associated with virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing, and with traits including leaf number, plant height, root length and drought tolerance. Phenotypic associations include abnormal small molecule transport, increased sporulation rate, altered vacuolar distribution and transport, delayed exit from stationary phase, abnormal replicative and chronological lifespan, decreased cell death rate, and increased fermentative growth.
