LAC3 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_008G252800 (PvLAC3) on chromosome 8 of French bean encodes a laccase, a copper-containing oxidase with p-diphenol:oxygen oxidoreductase activity, copper binding and redox activity. The gene is associated with lignin breakdown and lignin anabolism, and its product localises to the Casparian strip, apoplast and extracellular space. PvLAC3 has been connected to photosynthetic rate, and through MIR408-regulated pathways to seed yield and biomass. It is also linked to lignification and Casparian strip formation. Related genes in other species link the laccase family to petiole length, seed yield, days to flowering and plant height.
