SUNN — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT0S2215G0160 (SUNN, also known as PsRLP52) on garden pea chromosome CAADHX020006590.1 encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase with protein serine/threonine kinase activity. The gene is associated with steroid, SNARE, and receptor serine/threonine kinase binding, signaling receptor activity, and protein heterodimerization. It is linked to nodulation, cytokinin anabolism, pollen recognition, regulation of floral meristem size and organ development, response to chitin and brassinosteroid stimulus, skotomorphogenesis, and microtubule bundling. The product localizes to the plasma membrane, endosome, and macromolecular complexes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to powdery mildew resistance, while sequence similarity links the family to traits including nitrogen content, phosphorus uptake, root length, and sensitivity to acid, nitrate, and abscisic acid.
