PLC1 — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_011811 (DcPLC1) on carrot chromosome 3 encodes a protein with PLC-like catalytic domains, a C2 domain, and EF-hand-like motifs, and is annotated with phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate phospholipase C activity and EC 3.1.4.11. The gene is associated with phosphoinositide-mediated signaling, cytosolic release of stored calcium ion, calcium ion homeostasis, positive regulation of auxin biosynthetic process, and regulation of defense response by callose deposition. It is linked to traits including auxin content, photosynthetic rate, oxidative stress response, disease tolerance, root morphology, salt tolerance, and plant growth and development. Associations also connect DcPLC1 to drought escape response, flowering time, thermotolerance, stomatal closure, aluminum tolerance, and lateral root development. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane, cytosol, endoplasmic reticulum, chloroplast envelope, and plant-type vacuole.
