UVR8 — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsUVR8, the garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa) UVR8 gene on chromosome 2, encodes a protein containing RCC1/BLIP-II and ankyrin repeat domains, placing it in the Reg_chr_condens family. The gene is associated with photomorphogenesis, pigmentation, and response to stress, and its product localises to the nucleus. Associations with shoot fresh weight, photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, and anthocyanin content have been noted. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to plant height, seed maturation, and quantum yield.
