RALF1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_001G205701, designated PvRALF1 on chromosome 1 of French bean, encodes a protein with receptor ligand activity, hormone activity, kinase activity, protein kinase activity, and protein binding. The gene is associated with regulation of signaling receptor activity, downregulation of cell growth, cell-cell signaling, circadian regulation of gene expression, nitrogen fixation, calcium signaling, response to brassinosteroid, downregulation of abscisic acid mediated signaling, stomatal movement, post-embryonic development, response to ethylene, nodulation, protein autophosphorylation, root development, and defence response to fungi. Localisation evidence links the product to the filiform apparatus, apoplast, plasmodesma, extracellular space, and plasmalemma. PvRALF1 is associated with numerous traits including phosphorus response, plant nutrient response trait, cellulose content, wheat powdery mildew disease response, cadmium concentration, cell growth and development trait, vegetative growth time, root hair length, ethylene sensitivity, brassinosteroid sensitivity, cell elongation trait, abiotic plant stress response trait, low temperature stress response, hypocotyl morphology trait, root thickness, flowering time trait, disease tolerance, plant growth and development trait, and SALTTL. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to root cell expansion, lateral root formation, root cell elongation, cytoplasmic calcium signaling, mechanical signal transduction, nematode resistance, root penetration, plant height, abscisic
