PHR1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PvPHR1, encoded by PHAVU_002G059800 on chromosome 2 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), is a class 2 DNA photolyase with CPD photolyase activity, FAD and DNA binding, and is associated with photoreactive repair, UV protection, and DNA repair. It localises to plastids, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The gene is linked to phosphate content, phosphorus and iron homeostasis, phosphate starvation response and acclimation, lateral root formation, anthocyanin accumulation, UV damage repair, arsenate detoxification, hypoxia response, carbon metabolism, triacylglycerol accumulation, jasmonate response, sulfate transport, and high light stress tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to leaf senescence, flowering time, photosynthesis efficiency, and phosphate signaling.
