TET1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_003G284700, designated PvTET1 (also known as PvTRN2), encodes a protein belonging to the tetraspanin/peripherin family, specifically the TET_plant subfamily. In French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, chromosome 3), this gene is associated with membrane depolarization, abscisic acid anabolism, radial pattern formation, leaf vascular tissue pattern formation, root morphogenesis, megasporogenesis, and regulation of meristem organization. It is linked to chewing behavior and localizes to the plasmodesma and plasmalemma. Associations include floral development, auxin homeostasis, vascular cell proliferation, ground tissue patterning, and root radial pattern. Related genes in other species connect this family to shoot apical meristem development, leaf composition, auxin content, and floral organ development traits, as well as phenotypes such as unfused carpels, twisted siliques, and altered root and leaf patterning.
