LCR77 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT5G44420, also known as LCR77 or PDF1.2, encodes a plant defensin family protein containing a knottin domain and scorpion toxin-like superfamily fold, and is annotated with protein binding molecular function. This Arabidopsis thaliana gene is associated with defense responses, including resistance to fungal pathogens such as Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium oxysporum, as well as insect and herbivore resistance. PDF1.2 is linked to systemic resistance, jasmonic acid signaling, and responses to necrotrophic pathogens. The protein localizes extracellularly and is associated with biological processes including response to peptide, autophagic cell death, and regulation of breakdown. Additional associations include traits such as self-incompatibility, aphid response, leaf curling, jasmonic acid sensitivity, and contents of proline, carotenoids, starch, sugar, protein, and chlorophyll.
