SYP131 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_6G028140 (SYP131) in barrel medic encodes a syntaxin protein containing Syntaxin_N and T_SNARE domains, associated with SNARE, SNARE binding, and protein binding. It is associated with vesicle fusion, membrane fusion, exocytosis, endocytosis, intracellular protein transport, organogenesis, and defense response. The gene product localizes to the pollen tube tip, apical plasma membrane, cell plate, endomembrane system, TGN, plasmodesma, plasmalemma, and nucleus. Phenotype associations include disease resistance, root hair growth, pollen tube growth and development, osmotic water transport, pollen secretion, vegetative growth, bacterial pathogen resistance, cytokinesis, stomatal defense, membrane trafficking to the plasma membrane, callose priming, and plant growth. Related genes in other species link the family to salinity stress tolerance and traits such as vegetative growth time, root hair length, and disease tolerance.
