LTP — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_030128 (LTP) on carrot chromosome 9 encodes a protein with a plant non-specific lipid-transfer domain and belongs to the bifunctional inhibitor/lipid-transfer/seed-storage superfamily. The product is annotated for lipid binding and lipid transport, and is associated with defense response, somatic embryogenesis, and sensitization processes. Related genes in other species encode LTP family members, though these associations are not yet established for this specific carrot gene.
