Structural diversity and differential transcription of the patatin multicopy gene family during potato tuber development.
The patatin multicopy gene family encodes the major storage protein in potato tubers and is organized as a single cluster in the potato genome. We sequenced a 154-kb bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone containing a portion of the patatin gene cluster. Two putatively functional patatin genes were found in this BAC. These two genes are embedded within arrays of patatin pseudogenes. Using ...
متن کاملTuber on a chip: differential gene expression during potato tuber development.
Potato tuber development has proven to be a valuable model system for studying underground sink organ formation. Research on this topic has led to the identification of many genes involved in this complex process and has aided in the unravelling of the mechanisms underlying starch synthesis. However, less attention has been paid to the biochemical pathways of other important metabolites or to t...
متن کاملGene expression during tuber development in potato plants.
Potato tubers are modified stems that have differentiated into storage organs. Factors such as day-length, nitrogen supply, and levels of the phytohormones cytokinin and gibberellic acid, are known to control tuberization. Morphological changes during tuber initiation are accompanied by the accumulation of a characteristic set of proteins, thought to be involved in N-storage (i.e. patatin) or d...
متن کاملCarotenogenesis during tuber development and storage in potato.
Germplasm of Solanum tuberosum and Solanum phureja exhibit a wide (over 20-fold) variation in tuber carotenoid content. The levels of carotenoids during tuber development and storage were compared in a high carotenoid-accumulating S. phureja accession (DB375\1) with two S. tuberosum cultivars (Pentland Javelin and Desiree) that accumulate lower levels of tuber carotenoid. On a dry weight basis,...
متن کاملSequence of two apparent pseudogenes of the major potato tuber protein, patatin
We have completely sequenced two patatin genomic clones Isolated from a genomic library of the potato (Solarium tuberosum L.) cultivar Superior. Comparison of the sequences to the fulllength patatin cDNA, pGMOl (1) permits the assignment of Intron-exon boundaries. Each gene 1s Interrupted by six Introns that vary greatly in length between the two clones. Both clones, SB6B and SA1OC, contain fra...
