TCP10 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PvTCP10 (PHAVU_005G097200) on French bean chromosome 5 encodes a TCP family transcription factor with DNA-binding transcription activator activity, histidine phosphotransfer kinase activity, and protein heterodimerization activity. It localizes to the nucleus, plastid, cytosol, and cytoplasm. The gene is associated with regulation of cytokinin-mediated signalling, nitrogen utilization, glucosinolate metabolism, and the histidyl-aspartyl phosphorelay. It is linked to numerous agronomic traits including yield, seed set, plant male sterility, pollen fertility, days to flowering, vegetative growth time, stem elongation, leaf growth and development, shoot apical meristem development, and plant stress response. Associations also include leaf flexibility, petal and sepal morphology, anther morphology, and responses to gibberellic acid, ethylene, and light intensity. Studies of related genes in other species link the TCP10 family to leaf shape, anther development, sporogenesis, heat stress memory, and susceptibility to Pseudomonas syringae.
