PLC1 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_011810 (DcPLC1) on carrot chromosome 3 encodes a protein with phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity and phospholipase C activity, containing PLC EF-hand-like, PI-PLC family, and C2 domains. The gene is associated with calcium ion homeostasis, positive regulation of auxin biosynthetic process, GABA biosynthesis, PTI signalling, and response to oomycetes. It is linked to auxin content, photosynthetic rate, oxidative stress response, disease tolerance, root morphology trait, and plant growth and development trait. Associations include thermotolerance, drought escape response, flowering time, stomatal closure, root gravitropism, aluminum tolerance, and lateral root development. Related genes in other species link the family to phosphoinositide signaling, heat and salt stress tolerance, defense response, and Phytophthora resistance.
