What is Feruloyl Transferase in Potato Periderm about?

This study investigates a potato gene encoding a fatty x-hydroxyacid/fatty alcohol hydroxycinnamoyl transferase (FHT) that plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of suberin and associated waxes in the tuber periderm. Down-regulation of FHT leads to reduced ferulate esters, resulting in thicker, russeted tuber skin, increased water loss, and impaired maturation, while maintaining typical suberin structure. The findings highlight the importance of ferulate esters in the molecular architecture of suberin and
