LRR — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_011G212100, designated PvLRR and also known as PvDRT100 and PvEXLRR8, encodes a leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain-containing protein on chromosome 11 of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The product exhibits enzyme inhibitor activity, nucleotide and ATP binding, receptor serine/threonine kinase binding, and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. PvLRR is associated with downregulation of photosynthesis, regulation of photosynthesis, glycerolipid anabolism, nitrogen fixation, immune response, UV protection, regulation of meristem development, floral organ development, and regulation of cell growth. It is linked to membrane and plasmalemma localization, and to the related gene ER1. The gene has been associated with parasitic weed and DNA damage repair. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to traits including seed weight, seed size, chlorophyll content, drought tolerance, and stomatal resistance.
