PR10 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_002G209500, designated PvPR10, encodes a Bet v I/MLP family protein on chromosome 2 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The product possesses multiple molecular functions including melatonin, cytokinin, and abscisic acid binding, RNA nuclease activity, protein phosphatase inhibitor activity, hydrolase activity, signaling receptor activity, and calcium ion binding. PvPR10 is associated with regulation and downregulation of photosynthesis, seed germination, proteolysis, nodulation, ABA signaling, root development, and defense response. It localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The gene is linked to drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the PR10 family to ribonuclease activity (EC 3.1.27.-).
