RPL20 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_002G090500, symbol RPL20, encodes a ribosomal protein in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) on chromosome 2. The product is a structural constituent of the ribosome with rRNA binding activity, and is associated with ribosomal large subunit assembly and translation. It localises to the ribosome and ribonucleoprotein complex. Studies of related genes in other species link the RPL20 family to these core translation functions. No agronomically relevant traits such as yield, stress tolerance, or seed characteristics have been directly associated with this gene in the available evidence.
