SHD — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsSHD (PSAT0S1664G0080) in garden pea encodes a member of the Hsp90 family, an ATP-dependent protein folding chaperone localized to the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes including sterol anabolism, fatty acid beta-oxidation, telomere maintenance, and protein secretion. It has been linked to numerous agronomically important traits such as drought tolerance, salt stress tolerance, seed set percent, seed viability, pollen fertility, flowering time, root development, and insect damage response. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to thermotolerance, salt tolerance, endoplasmic reticulum function, telomere length regulation, and plant viability. PsSHD is also associated with floral organ morphology, vascular tissue patterning, and jasmonic acid content.
