LP1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsLP1 (PSAT0S4675G0040) encodes a protein belonging to the plant nsLTP domain and the bifunctional inhibitor/LTP/seed storage superfamily. The product exhibits lipid carrier, lipid binding, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, and protein binding activities. It is associated with phospholipid transfer to membranes, cutin-based cuticle development, lipid transport, plant epidermal cell differentiation, programmed cell death, and responses to abscisic acid, salinity, bacteria, and fungi. The protein localizes to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesmata, secretory vesicles, and plastids. PsLP1 is linked to traits including flowering time, seed growth and development, leaf senescence, ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, and stomatal closure. It is also connected to salt tolerance, drought response, cold tolerance, disease resistance, and cuticle permeability. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to yield, nitrogen use efficiency, pathogen resistance, and embryo development.
