PIP2 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_1G107410 (MtPIP2) encodes a member of the PIP2/PIPL1 family. The gene is associated with water transport, macroautophagy, autophagy, regulation of root development, cold acclimation, nodulation, innate immunity, response to auxin, cellular response to hypoxia, and defense response to other organisms. It is linked to traits including specific leaf weight, leaf weight, photosynthetic rate, ethylene sensitivity, leaf size, drought tolerance, root hydraulic conductivity, and salt tolerance. The encoded protein localises to the apoplast and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to water absorption by seed, cell membrane stability, drought recovery, leaf water potential, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, and root length.
