LOX3 — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_010G128800, designated PvLOX3, encodes a lipoxygenase enzyme with linoleate 9S- and 13S-lipoxygenase activities, as well as phytoene dehydrogenase and peroxidase activities. It is associated with jasmonic acid and oxylipin biosynthesis, green leaf volatile production, and responses to insects, fungi, bacteria, ozone, high light, and salicylic acid. The gene is linked to anther development and dehiscence, filament development, male fertility, and inflorescence development. Associations with stress tolerance include cadmium, heat, salt, drought, and copper stress, as well as nematode resistance and susceptibility to root-knot nematode infection. The protein localizes to chloroplast thylakoids, stroma, envelope, stromules, apoplast, and cytosol. Related genes in other species connect the family to N-acylethanolamine metabolism.
