BSH — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G124500, designated PvBSH (also known as PvCHE1, PvSNF5), encodes a structural constituent of the cytoskeleton with chromatin-binding and protein-binding activities. This French bean gene on chromosome 3 is associated with chromatin organization and modeling, hyphal growth, pollen sperm cell differentiation, and response to long-day flowering. The product localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, and nucleolus, and is a component of SWI-SNF, TIP60, INO80, and SWR-C complexes. PvBSH is associated with plant organ growth and development, leaf growth and development, leaf size, embryo development, seedling growth and development, flowering time, abscisic acid sensitivity, and salt stress tolerance. It is linked to seed storage protein expression, gametophyte viability, transposon silencing, male fertility, floral senescence, and plant defense response. Related genes in other species link the family to plant growth habit, seed production, plant architecture, seed germination, and flowering time.
