VPY — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_8G467780, also known as VPY, encodes a protein containing a PGG domain and ankyrin repeats. In barrel medic, this gene is associated with membrane polarization, strigolactone anabolism, pigmentation, nitrogen fixation, secretion, and responses to symbiotic bacteria and fungi, including arbuscular mycorrhizae formation and nodulation. It is linked to cell division and localizes to the periarbuscular membrane, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The gene is also associated with the HMS protein, which centres on PT4.
