Basic mutant information   
Mutant name PSR26r
Mutant/Transgenic transgenic
Ecotype Japanese morning glory (Ipomoea nil)
Mutagenesis type RNAi
(Semi-)Dominant/Recessive recessive
Description The deduced InPSR26 peptide consists of 152 amino acids and shows 50% amino acid sequence identity over the length of the entire peptide with putative membrane proteins of Arabidopsis (At4g15610 and At3g06390), which have unknown function.

Organism Japanese morning glory (Ipomoea nil)
Description InPSR26 is dominantly expressed in petal limbs and its transcript level increases prior to visible senescence symptoms. Transgenic plants with reduced InPSR26 expression (PSR26r lines) showed accelerated petal wilting, with PCD symptoms including cell collapse, ion and anthocyanin leakage, and DNA degradation accelerated in petals compared to wild-type plants. Transcript levels of autophagy- and PCD-related genes (InATG4, InATG8, InVPE, and InBI-1) were reduced in the petals of PSR26r plants. InPSR26 acts to delay the progression of PCD during petal senescence, possibly through regulation of the autophagic process.
