ATG18B — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G152800, designated PvATG18B on chromosome 3 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), encodes a PROPPIN family protein containing WD40 repeats. The gene is annotated to macroautophagy, autophagy, and cellular homeostasis, linking it to these core cellular processes. Related genes in other species connect the ATG18B family to autophagic membrane trafficking and nutrient recycling. PvATG18B is associated with the maintenance of cellular homeostasis through autophagy-related pathways.
