PR10 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G109600, designated PvPR10, encodes a Bet v I/MLP family protein on French bean chromosome 3. The product exhibits melatonin, cytokinin, and abscisic acid binding, RNA nuclease activity, protein phosphatase inhibitor activity, hydrolase activity, signaling receptor activity, and calcium ion binding. It is associated with regulation and downregulation of photosynthesis, seed germination, proteolysis, nodulation, ABA signaling, root development, and defense response, and localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The gene is linked to drought tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to ribonuclease activity (EC 3.1.27.-).
