UVR8 — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsUVR8, the garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa) gene on chromosome 5, encodes a Reg_chr_condens domain protein belonging to the RCC1/BLIP-II family. It is associated with photomorphogenesis, pigmentation, and response to stress, and has been linked to anthocyanin content, photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, and shoot fresh weight. The gene product localises to the cytosol, Golgi complex, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species connect the family to regulation of plant height, seed maturation, and quantum yield.
