EDS1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_009G183000, designated PvEDS1, encodes a protein with an EDS1-like domain and an alpha/beta hydrolase fold, and is annotated with SUMO-specific endopeptidase, carboxylesterase, lipase and ADP-ribosyl cyclase activities. In French bean, PvEDS1 is associated with the positive regulation of salicylic acid-mediated signaling, activation of camalexin anabolism, upregulation of defense response to oomycetes and upregulation of antiviral response by host, as well as response to UV-C, response to singlet oxygen, defense response to insect and defence response to Gram-negative bacteria. It is linked to traits including yield, seed yield, biomass, water use efficiency, disease tolerance, and responses to aphids, powdery mildew, downy mildew, aluminum and low temperature stress. The gene product localizes to the perinuclear region of cytoplasm, plasmodesma, plastid and endomembrane system. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to pathogen defense, salicylic acid accumulation and drought tolerance.
