PGIP — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_3G060750 (PGIP) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat domains and protein serine/threonine kinase activity, annotated as having enzyme inhibitor activity, coreceptor activity, and transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity. The gene is associated with defense response, innate immunity, detection of symbiotic fungi, positive regulation of the hypersensitive response, brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, signal transduction, heat acclimation, cell differentiation, regulation of cell growth, and specification of floral organ number. Its product localizes to the plasma membrane, external side of the plasma membrane, and apoplast. Related genes in other species link the family to immune receptor complex formation and polygalacturonase inhibition.
