PRX — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PvPRX (PHAVU_006G151701) on French bean chromosome 6 encodes a protein with PRX5-like, redoxin, thioredoxin domain, and thioredoxin-like superfamily domains, and is annotated with thioredoxin peroxidase and peroxidase activity. This gene is associated with cellular response to oxidative stress, cell redox homeostasis, reactive oxygen species metabolic process, hydrogen peroxide catabolic process, DNA breakdown, and response to oxidative stress. The product localizes to mitochondrial lumen, chloroplast stroma, mitochondria, cytosol, and cytoplasm. PvPRX is linked to chlorophyll content. Studies of related genes in other species connect this family to seed viability, seed weight, seed size, leaf size, plant height, lignin content, and drought tolerance.
