PPS — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PvPPS (PHAVU_011G129700) on French bean chromosome 11 encodes a protein with transcription regulator activity, DNA binding, and protein binding, belonging to the F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein family. It is associated with responses to karrikin and brassinosteroid stimuli, regulation of shoot morphogenesis, bud dilation, leaf senescence, auxin polar transport, phloem or xylem histogenesis, and SCF complex assembly. The gene is linked to traits including petiole shape, floral organ number, root epidermal cell length, carotenoid content, abscisic acid concentration, total soluble sugar content, and vegetative growth time. It localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria, SCF complex, and condensed nuclear chromosome. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to strigolactone perception, shoot branching, drought resistance, and root hair elongation.
