PGI — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_009G143550, designated PvPGI or PGI on chromosome 9 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), encodes a glucose-6-phosphate isomerase. This product belongs to the SIS_PGI domain family and exhibits glucose-6-phosphate isomerase activity, monosaccharide binding, and isomerase activity. The gene is associated with glucose 6-phosphate metabolism, gluconeogenesis, glycolytic processes, starch breakdown and metabolism, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, and upregulation of flower development. It localises to the chloroplast envelope, stroma, plastid, and cytosol. Associations include starch synthesis and accumulation, transitory starch synthesis, carbon partitioning, photosynthetic capacity, seed development and yield, fatty acid content, cytokinin biosynthesis, flowering time, floral initiation, and growth. Related genes in other species are linked to photosynthesis, plant growth, and fertility.
