Pvr4 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_26666 (Pvr4) on pepper chromosome 10 encodes a plant NBS-LRR protein with NB-ARC and LRR domains, and binds ADP, ATP and metals. The gene is associated with antiviral response, defense response and hypersensitive cell death, and its product localises to the membrane and cytoplasm. Pvr4 is linked to potyvirus resistance, including resistance to Potato virus Y (PVY). Related genes in other species, such as RGA4 and RB, are linked to disease resistance.
