CHIP-seq and transcriptomics reveal a new role of circadian-regulated StBBX24 protein in potato reproduction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The flowering and tuberization are controlled by common determinants that mediate the regulation of both processes. Among transcription regulators involved in light-dependent aspects of growth and development are B-box zinc finger proteins. To gain a better understanding of the StBBX24 role in flowering and tuber formation, we aimed to investigate the regulatory network of StBBX24 in apical shoot parts at different stages of development and in stolons at the hook stage of tuber formation in StBBX24-silenced and -overexpressed lines using RNA-seq. In addition, we intended to identify StBBX24-targeted genes specific to the light-dark cycle and potentially involved in potato reproduction by performing CHIP-seq.
