pgip — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_013562 (pgip) on carrot chromosome 4 encodes a leucine-rich repeat-containing N-terminal plant-type domain protein belonging to the PGIP family. The product is annotated with enzyme inhibitor activity, steroid binding, SNARE binding, transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, and signaling receptor activity, among other molecular functions. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including specification of floral organ number, stomatal complex morphogenesis, skotomorphogenesis, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, activation of salinity response, response to other organisms, heat acclimation, and seedling development. It is linked to localisation in the apoplast, endosome, membrane, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species connect the family to brassinosteroid signalling and plant development.
