PGIP — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_4G088300, symbol PGIP, on sugar beet chromosome 4, encodes a protein with a PGIP domain, leucine-rich repeat domains, and annotated with enzyme inhibitor activity, receptor serine/threonine kinase binding, transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein serine kinase activity, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with defense response, signal transduction, cell differentiation, heat acclimation, regulation of cell growth, stomatal complex morphogenesis and its regulation, specification of floral organ number, plant ovule development, embryo sac development, upregulation of response to thirst, and activation of salinity response. The encoded product localizes to the apoplast, membrane, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to receptor-like kinase signaling and nodulation control.
