SLP — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_011G082600 (PvSLP) on chromosome 11 of French bean encodes a chaperonin protein belonging to the Cpn60/GroEL family, with ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone activity and additional annotations for protein kinase activity and mRNA binding. The gene is associated with stomatal complex formation and patterning, guard mother cell differentiation, asymmetric and symmetric cell division, regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition and meiotic nuclear division, cytokinesis by cell plate formation, and gametophyte and cotyledon development. It is linked to thermotolerance, heat tolerance, disease resistance, salt stress response, cell growth and elongation, root and shoot apical meristem development, trichome and leaf composition traits, and plant growth and development. Localization evidence connects the product to the chloroplast stroma and envelope, thylakoid, preprophase band, cortical microtubule, and stress granules.
