BG1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaBG1 (T459_13623) on pepper chromosome 5 encodes a glucan endo-1,3-beta-glucosidase, basic vacuolar isoform, with glucan exo-1,3-beta-glucosidase, lichenase, cellulase and O-glucosyl hydrolase activities. The gene is associated with defence response to nematode, defence response to fungi, systemic acquired resistance, induced systemic resistance, JA signalling, brassinosteroid mediated signalling, cell death, immune response, response to cold, response to bacteria, carbohydrate metabolism, leaf formation and nitrogen fixation. Its product localises to the vacuole, apoplast, plant-type cell wall, secretory vesicle, Golgi complex, mitochondria and cytosol. CaBG1 is linked to leaf area index, stem diameter, plant height, photosynthetic rate, nitrate uptake, seedling growth and development trait, organ identity, anthocyanin accumulation, abscisic acid biosynthesis, phosphate acquisition, disease resistance, nematode resistance, salt tolerance, drought tolerance, callose deposition, and resistance to Verticillium dahliae.
