CA1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_004G013500 (CA1) in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) on chromosome 4 encodes a beta-type carbonic anhydrase belonging to clade B, with carbonic anhydrase, peroxidase, salicylic acid binding, calcium ion binding, mRNA binding, zinc binding, and protein binding activities. The gene is associated with negative regulation of stomatal complex development, response to carbon dioxide, heterotrophy, cell redox homeostasis, regulation of stomatal movement, response to cold, and defence response to fungi. It has been connected to drought tolerance, salt tolerance, seed development, reproductive development, embryo development, stomatal density and movement, immunity, cold response, and antioxidant response. The protein localises to the stromule, thylakoid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane, endosome, chloroplast envelope, apoplast, chloroplast stroma, plastid, cytosol, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to disease resistance and male sterility.
