BG1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_001G128550 (PvBG1) on chromosome 1 of French bean encodes a protein with glucan exo-1,3-beta-glucosidase, lichenase, cellulase, and glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase activities, and belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase family 17. The gene is associated with carbohydrate metabolism, brassinosteroid-mediated signalling, nodulation, and responses to bacteria and cold. Its product localises to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, Golgi complex, secretory vesicle, cytosol, mitochondria, and extracellular space. PvBG1 has been linked to nitrate uptake, leaf composition, organ identity, seedling growth and development, phosphate acquisition, abscisic acid biosynthesis, anthocyanin accumulation, aphid susceptibility, defense response, disease resistance, callose deposition, drought tolerance, resistance to Verticillium dahliae, systemic acquired resistance, stress response, pathogen response, pathogen defense response, dehydration resistance, salt tolerance, osmotic stress response, cellulose biosynthesis, callose biosynthesis, leaf development, cell proliferation, seedling growth, signal transduction, and nitrate assimilation.
