LP1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_010G069100, designated LP1 (also known as PvLP1 and by multiple LTP and CDF3 synonyms) on French bean chromosome 10, encodes a protein belonging to the Plant_nsLTP family. The product exhibits lipid carrier activity, lipid binding, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, and protein binding. LP1 is associated with phospholipid transfer to membranes, lipid transport, cutin-based cuticle development, response to water, salinity response, ABA signaling, defence response to bacteria, programmed cell death, and spore germination. The protein localizes to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesma, secretory vesicle, and plastid. LP1 is associated with ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, stomatal complex closure time, leaf senescence, seed growth and development, abscisic acid sensitivity, flowering time, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species link these proteins to germination, resistance to bacterial infection, cuticle-cell wall interface integrity, yield, nitrogen use efficiency, salt stress tolerance, clubroot disease resistance, embryo development, pathogen resistance, embryo pattern formation, herbivory resistance, and thigmomorphogenesis.
