HL — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_011G148400, designated PvHL, encodes a member of the inositol monophosphatase-like family with 3'(2'),5'-bisphosphate nucleotidase activity and metal binding. In French bean, this gene is associated with quorum sensing, sulfate assimilation, PIP biosynthesis, and signal transduction, and its product localizes to the cytoplasm. PvHL is associated with drought tolerance and proline accumulation. Related genes in other species are linked to abiotic stress tolerance, sulfur metabolism, and salt sensitivity or tolerance. Sequence similarity further links the family to grain weight, proline content, salt response, abscisic acid sensitivity, and rosette growth traits.
