Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation StERF3 has an EAR motif in its C-terminal region.
- Mechanism StERF3 negatively regulates resistance to Phytophthora infestans.
- Mechanism StERF3 negatively regulates potato salt tolerance.
- Observation The StERF3 promoter responds to salicylic acid, ABA, ethylene and NaCl.
- Observation The StERF3 promoter responds to P. infestans.
- Observation StERF3 bound the GCC box of the HIS3 promoter and activated HIS3 transcription in yeast.
- Intervention effect Silencing StERF3 enhanced foliage resistance to P. infestans.
- Intervention effect Silencing StERF3 elevated potato tolerance to NaCl stress.
- Intervention effect StERF3 overexpression reduced expression of defense genes.
- Intervention effect StERF3 overexpression enhanced susceptibility to P. infestans.
- Observation StERF3 localizes to the nucleus.
- Mechanism StERF3 interacts with other proteins in the cytoplasm, potentially causing relocalization.
