Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
Salicylic acid 5-hydroxylase
EN
Salicylic acid 5-hydroxylase (SA5H) involved in salicylic acid metabolism. Catalyzes the hydroxylation of salicylic acid to dihydroxybenzoic acid, contributing to salicylic acid homeostasis. Acts as a negative regulator of plant defense responses by reducing salicylic acid accumulation and suppressing the expression of defense-related genes.
EN
Additional Information
Gene knockout of Stdmr6-1 results in increased salicylic acid accumulation, activation of defense-related pathways, and enhanced resistance to the oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans. Field and controlled-environment studies have demonstrated reduced late blight severity in StDMR6-1 knockout potato lines.
