“…The study was focused on the characterization of the expression of three genes -StBAM1, StBAM9 and StAI. The amylase inhibitor gene (StAI, gene ID 102591697) is present in the potato genome in one copy (Zhang et al, 2014b;Dyachenko et al, 2021), while the β-amylase family consists of several members (Van Harsselaar et al, 2017). Based on the available NCBI and published data, the available sequences of the S. tuberosum and A. thaliana β-amylase genes were obtained.…”

Solanum tuberosum L. is the most important non-grain starch crop with a potential yield of 38–48 t/ha and a starch content of 13.2–18.7 %. Potato tubers are stored at a low temperature (2–4 °C) in a state of physiological dormancy. A disadvantage of this type of storage is the degradation of starch and the accumulation of reducing sugars (cold-induced sweetening), including due to an increase in the activity of β-amylases that hydrolyze starch to maltose. In this study, a comparative analysis of the β-amylase (StBAM1, StBAM9) and amylase inhibitor (StAI ) gene expression, as well as starch and reducing sugar content in tubers during long-term low-temperature storage (September, February, April) was performed using potato cultivars Nadezhda, Barin, Krasavchik, Severnoe siyanie and Utro. The β-amylase genes, StBAM9 and one of the two StBAM1 homologs (with the highest degree of homology with AtBAM1), were selected based on phylogenetic analysis data. Evaluation of the expression of these genes and the amylase inhibitor gene showed a tendency to decrease in transcription for all analyzed cultivars. The starch content also significantly decreased during tuber storage. The amount of reducing sugars increased in the September–April period, while in February–April, their content did not change (Krasavchik), decreased (Barin, Severnoe siyanie) or continued to grow (Utro, Nadezhda). It can be assumed that the gene activity of StBAM1 and StBAM9 correlates with the amount of starch (positively) and monosaccharides (negatively). The level of StAI expression, in turn, may be directly dependent on the level of StBAM1 expression. At the same time, there is no relationship between the degree of cultivar predisposition to cold-induced sweetening and the expression profile of the StBAM1, StBAM9, and StAI genes.

Effect of a Radical Mutation in Plastidic Starch Phosphorylase PHO1a on Potato Growth and Cold Stress Response

et al. 2022

The plant response to stresses includes changes in starch metabolism regulated by a complex catalytic network, in which plastidic starch phosphorylase PHO1a is one of the key players. In this study, we used the CRISPR-Cas9 system to edit the PHO1a gene in four potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) cultivars, which resulted in the introduction of a radical mutation, G261V, into the PHO1a functional domain. The mutants had altered morphology and differed from wild-type plants in starch content in the roots and leaves. Exposure to cold stress revealed the differential response of parental and transgenic plants in terms of starch content and the expression of genes coding for β-amylases, amylase inhibitors, and stress-responsive MADS-domain transcription factors. These results suggest that the G261V mutation causes changes in the functional activity of PHO1a, which in turn affect the coordinated operation of starch catabolism enzymes both under normal and cold stress conditions, possibly through differential expression of MADS-domain transcription factors. Our results highlight a critical regulatory role of PHO1a in starch metabolism, root and shoot development, and stress response in potatoes.
