PGIP — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_3G060730 (symbol PGIP) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a protein with a PGIP domain and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) family domains, and is annotated with enzyme inhibitor activity, signaling receptor activity, and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. The gene is associated with defense response to fungi, brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, hormone-mediated signaling, and response to light stimulus. It is also linked to regulation of floral meristem size, specification of floral organ number, floral organ development, gametophyte development, skotomorphogenesis, regulation of cell growth, heat acclimation, post-embryonic development, seedling development, cell differentiation, microtubule bundling, and signal transduction. The encoded protein localizes to the membrane, plasmalemma, apoplast, endosome, and macromolecular complex. Related genes in other species, including TD1 and CURL3, link the family to meristem and organ development.
