BIR2 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_004G023700, designated PvBIR2, encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase (LRR-RLK) with transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, coreceptor activity, and signaling receptor binding functions. It is associated with brassinosteroid-mediated signaling, detection of brassinosteroid stimulus, and hormone-mediated signaling. PvBIR2 is linked to inhibition of defence response to bacteria, regulation of defence response to fungi, defense response to oomycetes, and upregulation of innate immune response. The gene is associated with seedling development, skotomorphogenesis, somatic embryogenesis, plant ovule development, and post-embryonic development. It is also associated with drought tolerance, salt tolerance, disease tolerance, and responses to aphids, aluminum, and phototropism. Localization evidence places the product at the plasma membrane, endosome, and cytosol.
