| Abstract |
The patatin gene is the best known "tuber-specific" gene of potato (Solanum tuberosum). Patatin is encoded by a multigene family that can be divided into two classes. Class I genes are highly expressed in tubers and are sucrose inducible, while class II genes are under developmental control and are expressed mainly in root tips. Here we report the isolation and characterization of cDNA clones corresponding to a patatin gene of the non-tuberizing Solanum species S. brevidens. We show that the gene is 94-100% homologous to the class I type patatin genes of S. tuberosum; the homology includes the sequences in the 5' and the 3' untranslated regions. However, the patatin gene of S. brevidens is regulated like class II type patatin genes and cannot be transcriptionally activated by elevated levels of sucrose. This result further supports the idea that the components required for tuberization may be present in non-tuberizing solanaceous plants, but are regulated differently. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 January 2010.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Molecular Genetics and Genomics
#920
of 3,319 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#6,164
of 20,187 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Molecular Genetics and Genomics
#10
of 21 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,319 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.0. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 20,187 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 8th percentile – i.e., 8% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 21 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
