TML — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G146100, designated PvTML on chromosome 3 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), encodes a protein containing Muniscin_C and MHD domains and is annotated with protein-binding molecular function. The gene is associated with clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME), nitrogen fixation, lateral root formation, nodulation, pollen development, and cell division. Studies of related genes in other species link the TML family to seed weight, lateral root length, root length, and drought tolerance, though these associations are not yet established for PvTML itself.
