pgip — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_017030 (pgip) on carrot chromosome 5 encodes a protein with leucine-rich repeat domains and is annotated with enzyme inhibitor activity, receptor serine/threonine kinase binding, transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, protein serine kinase activity, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with defence response, response to other organisms, heat acclimation, and activation of salinity response. It has been linked to developmental processes including specification of floral organ number, plant ovule development, embryo sac development, stomatal complex morphogenesis, regulation of stomatal complex development, and cell differentiation. The encoded product localises to the apoplast, membrane, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to serine/threonine kinase signalling.
