PAL — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsPAL (LSAT_V11C200090270) on lettuce chromosome 2 encodes a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, an enzyme with ammonia-lyase and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity that also possesses DNA-binding transcription factor activity. This gene is associated with the breakdown of salicylic acid and L-phenylalanine, cinnamic acid and phenylpropanoid anabolism, lignin breakdown, and regulation of phenylpropanoid metabolism. It is linked to responses to UV-B, wounding, oxidative stress, low humidity, and drought recovery, as well as guard cell fate commitment and pollen development. Associations with agronomic traits include disease resistance, anthocyanin accumulation, chilling and freezing tolerance, salt stress tolerance, photosynthetic rate, shoot fresh weight, and resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus and Corynespora cassiicola.
