LP1 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_010G079000 (LP1) in French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) on chromosome 10 encodes a protein with a Plant_nsLTP domain and bifunctional inhibitor/lipid-transfer/seed storage domains. It has lipid carrier activity and lipid binding, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with lipid transport, phospholipid transfer to membranes, cutin-based cuticle development, and responses to water, salinity, and abscisic acid signaling. It is linked to seed growth and development, flowering time, ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, and stomatal closure. Associations with drought tolerance, salt tolerance, cold tolerance, disease resistance, and cuticle permeability have been noted, along with connections to seedling growth, hypocotyl elongation, root development, and seed set. The protein localizes to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesmata, secretory vesicles, and plastids.
