N — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_35471 (symbol N) on pepper chromosome PGAv.1.6.scaffold4111 encodes a TIR domain-containing protein with DPNase, NADP nucleosidase, ADP-ribosyl cyclase/cyclic ADP-ribose hydrolase activities, and binds ADP and ATP. It is associated with NAD breakdown, upregulation of programmed cell death, the hypersensitive response, defence response to fungi, signal transduction, and syngamy. The protein localises to the cytoplasm and nucleus. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include flower diameter and size, fruit set, seed set percent, pollen production, nectar production, root weight, plant biomass, and nematode resistance, including root-knot nematode resistance. Studies of related genes in other species link the TIR-NBS-LRR family to pathogen recognition.
