LP1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_010G066500, 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 belonging to the Plant_nsLTP family. The product exhibits lipid carrier, nutrient reservoir, lipid binding, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, and protein binding activities. This gene is associated with phospholipid transfer to membranes, lipid transport, cutin anabolism, cuticle development, seed development, embryogenesis, plant epidermal cell differentiation, programmed cell death, ABA signaling, salinity response, and defence against Gram-positive bacteria. Associations include ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, stomatal closure, leaf senescence, seed growth, flowering time, salt and drought tolerance, cold tolerance, disease resistance, and cuticle integrity. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to yield, nitrogen use efficiency, pathogen resistance, and embryo development.
