FT (PHAVU_004G074700) — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PvFT (PHAVU_004G074700) on chromosome 4 of French bean encodes a phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP family) with mRNA regulatory element binding translation repressor activity, protein N-GlcNAc transferase activity, peptide-O-fucosyltransferase activity, phosphatidylethanolamine binding, lipid binding, protein phosphorylated amino acid binding, transglycosidase activity, sequence-specific DNA binding, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, protein homodimerization activity, DNA binding transcription factor activity, and ATP binding. The gene is associated with photoperiodism, response to short-day flowering, upregulation of vernalization response, floral whorl development, maintenance of floral meristem identity, meristem determinacy, secondary shoot formation, regulation of secondary shoot formation, response to strigolactone, temperature compensation of the circadian clock, cellular responses to nitrogen and potassium starvation, and RNA-dependent gene silencing. It localizes to plasmodesmatal ER, plant-type cell wall, vacuole, ER, plasmodesma, Golgi, plastid, and mitochondria. Associations include photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, spikelet floret size, inflorescence development trait, axillary bud dormancy, fruit set, seed viability, plant male sterility, starch grain synthesis, leaf and stem morphology, temperature and UV light sensitivity, viral disease response, and hybrid incompatibility.
