LYM1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_008G163700, designated PvLYM1, encodes a LysM domain-containing protein with peptidoglycan-binding, chitin-binding, ATP-binding and protein tyrosine kinase activity. In French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris, chromosome 8), this gene is associated with immune response, innate immunity, defense response, regulation of defense response to fungi, upregulation of defense response to oomycetes, response to molecules of bacterial origin, nodulation, and glycoprotein anabolism. The product localizes to the membrane, plasma membrane, extracellular region, side of membrane, vacuolar lumen, and nucleus. PvLYM1 is linked to root growth, plant growth, and bacterial immunity. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to root thickness and plant growth and development traits.
