CLV2 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT1G65380 (CLV2, also known as AtRLP10) encodes a protein belonging to the RLP23-like family, with annotated cycloeucalenol cycloisomerase activity, peptide receptor activity, and protein serine/threonine kinase binding. In Arabidopsis, CLV2 is associated with meristem development, organ development, regulation of stem cell proliferation, stem cell differentiation, phloem development, pinocytosis, and sterol and auxin anabolism. It localizes to the ER membrane, plasmalemma, plasmodesmata, and plant-type vacuole. The gene is linked to numerous traits including carpel number, floral organ size, fruit diameter, plant height, root length, leaf size, abscisic acid sensitivity, high temperature stress response, and self-incompatibility. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to arbuscular mycorrhizal colonization, seed weight, and fruit shape.
