PRP1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

CaPRP1 (T459_34008) on pepper chromosome PGAv.1.6.scaffold1398 encodes a glutathione S-transferase (GST) with glutathione transferase activity, belonging to the Omega/Tau-like and GST_C domain families. The gene is associated with glutathione metabolism, toxin breakdown, hormone metabolism, and responses to auxin, abscisic acid, cytokinin, gibberellin, heat, and metals. It is linked to defense response, immune response, cell death, calcium signaling, auxin signaling, virus-induced PTGS, chromatin modeling, and homeostasis, and localizes to the cytoplasm. Associations include chilling stress response, net photosynthetic rate, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to drought tolerance, oxidative stress response, hydrogen peroxide content, quantum yield, lignin content, starch content, anthocyanin content, seed maturation, and pathogen defense.
