PGIP — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_029627 (PGIP) on carrot chromosome 9 encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain-containing protein with multiple molecular functions including transmembrane receptor protein kinase activity, peptide hormone binding, signaling receptor activity, calmodulin binding, and enzyme inhibitor activity. The gene is associated with brassinosteroid sensitivity, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, and brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, as well as response to nutrient levels, cellular response to salicylate stimulus, defence response to bacteria, and response to other organisms. It has been linked to disease resistance, immune response, immune signaling, abscisic acid signaling, root elongation, shade avoidance response, and mannitol stress tolerance. The protein localises to the plasma membrane, plant-type cell wall, apoplast, endosome, and plasmodesmata. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to pathogen resistance.
