PDAT — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_010G132900, designated PvPDAT, encodes a phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase belonging to the LACT/PDAT acyltransferase family with an alpha/beta hydrolase fold. This French bean gene on chromosome 10 is associated with triglyceride anabolism, and its product localises to the endoplasmic reticulum, plastid, nucleus and plant-type vacuole. PvPDAT is associated with triacylglycerol accumulation, triacylglycerol content, triacylglycerol synthesis, triacylglycerol assembly, fatty acid synthesis, fatty acid turnover, seed oil content, seed development, embryo development, pollen development, gametophyte development, plant growth, biomass, cell viability, cell death, thermotolerance, heat tolerance, and cold tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to triacylglycerol biosynthesis, seed yield, hydroxy fatty acid content, lifespan, temperature tolerance, oleic acid content, sugar content, starch content, protein content, seed size, seed viability, biomass yield, and responses to high and low temperature stress.
