LP1 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.4HG0352470 (symbol LP1, also known as HvLP1) on barley chromosome 4H encodes a protein belonging to the Plant_nsLTP family. The product exhibits lipid carrier activity, lipid binding, chitosan binding, chitin binding, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, protein kinase activity, and ATP binding. It is associated with phospholipid transfer to membranes, lipid transport, cutin-based cuticle development, seed trichome elongation, plant epidermal cell differentiation, somatic embryogenesis, and cellular responses to chitin and bacterial molecules. The gene has been linked to abscisic acid content and sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, proline content, soluble protein content, bacterial blight disease resistance, leaf senescence, flowering time, seed growth and development, and stomatal closure time. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to drought recovery, cold tolerance, yield traits, and pathogen resistance.
