LOX2 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_006G017100 (PvLOX2) on chromosome 6 encodes a protein with lipoxygenase and PLAT/LH2 domains, annotated for linoleate 13S-lipoxygenase activity, phytoene dehydrogenase activity, peroxidase activity, and RNA cap binding. It localizes to chloroplast thylakoids, stromules, stress granules, and P bodies. PvLOX2 is associated with jasmonic acid and green leaf volatile biosynthesis, lipid oxidation, cell redox homeostasis, and responses to herbivores, viruses, fungi, bacteria, and salicylic acid. It is linked to photoperiod-sensitive flowering time, seed yield, embryo development, root length and thickness, low temperature stress response, nodulation, and senescence. Related genes in other species are linked to insect and herbivore defense, wound response, green leaf volatile production, resistance to fungal pathogens, salt tolerance, and stomatal closure.
