ERD5 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_002G300800, designated PvERD5 (also known as PvPDH1, PvPDH2, PvPRO1, PvATPOX, PvATPDH, PvPRODH, PDH1, PDH2, ERD5, PRO1, ATPDH), encodes a proline dehydrogenase with proline oxidase activity, containing a Proline_DH_dom and FAD-linked oxidoreductase-like domain, and localizes to mitochondria. In French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) on chromosome 2, this gene is associated with proline breakdown, dehiscence, cellular response to hypoxia, response to oxidative stress, osmotic response, response to thirst, and defence response to bacteria. It is linked to photosynthetic rate, proline accumulation, proline metabolism, growth under water deficit, hypersensitive response, root elongation at low water potential, NADP/NADPH ratio, dehydration response, drought tolerance, and abiotic stress response. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to seed hardness, leaf chlorophyll content, leaf water potential, amino acid content, biomass yield, seed weight, root length, disease tolerance, and salt tolerance.
