Whitt, L; Ricachenevsky, FK; Ziegler, G; Clemens, S; Walker, E; Maathuis, F; Kear, P; Baxter, I: A curated list of genes that control elemental accumulation in plants in Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory: bioRxiv (2018), doi:10.1101/456384 [Link]
Abstract:
Knowledge of the genes and alleles underlying elemental composition will be required to understand how plants interact with their environment. Modern genetics is capable of quickly, and cheaply indicating which regions of DNA are associated with the phenotype in question, but most genes remain poorly annotated, hindering the identification of candidate genes. To help identify candidate genes underlying elemental accumulations, we have created the known ionome gene (KIG) list: a curated collection of genes experimentally shown to change elemental uptake. We have also created an automated computational pipeline to generate lists of KIG orthologs in other plant species using the PhytoMine database. The current version of KIG consists of 96 known genes covering 4 species and 23 elements and their 596 orthologs in 8 species. Most of the genes were identified in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and transporter coding genes as well as genes that affect the accumulation of iron and zinc are overrepresented in the current list.
