ETR — Phaseolus vulgaris

Summary

PHAVU_011G216400 (PvETR) on chromosome 11 of French bean encodes a protein with dual-specificity protein kinase activity, histidine kinase activity, histidine phosphotransfer kinase activity, phosphorelay sensor kinase activity, C2H4 receptor activity, and ethene binding. The gene is associated with detection of ethene stimulus, jasmonic acid/ethene-dependent systemic resistance, ethene mediated signaling pathway, regulation of seedling development, regulation of stem cell renewal, and regulation of post-embryonic root development. It is linked to traits including seed yield, days to flowering, root number, lateral root number, lateral root length, leaf carbon content, photosynthetic ability, stomatal resistance, lignin content, cellulose content, water stress response, aluminum response, aphid response, and herbicide sensitivity. Localization evidence connects the product to the ER, ER membrane, Golgi complex, plastid, plasmodesma, and secretory vesicle. Related genes in other species link the family to ethylene insensitivity, plant development, and phosphorelay signaling.
