LP1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_010G066400, designated LP1 (also known as PvLP1, LTP3, LTP2, LTP, LTP1, LTP7, LTP5, LTP4, CDF3, LTPI-11, PvLP2, PvCDF3) on French bean chromosome 10, encodes a protein with Plant_nsLTP and bifunctional inhibitor/lipid-transfer/seed storage domains. The product exhibits lipid carrier activity, lipid binding, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, and protein binding. This gene is associated with lipid transport, phospholipid transfer to membranes, cutin anabolism, cuticle development, response to abscisic acid and water, salinity response, programmed cell death, spore germination, hyphal growth, histogenesis, embryogenesis, plant epidermal cell differentiation, and signal transduction. It localizes to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesma, secretory vesicle, Golgi complex, endosome, trans-Golgi network, chloroplast thylakoid, and plastid. Associations include ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, stomatal complex closure time, leaf senescence, seed growth and development, abscisic acid sensitivity, flowering time, salt tolerance, drought tolerance, disease resistance, and cuticle integrity. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to yield, nitrogen use efficiency, pathogen resistance, and
