COP1 (PSAT1G174680) — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsCOP1 (PSAT1G174680) on chromosome 1LG6 of garden pea encodes a myo-inositol transporter with myo-inositol:proton symporter activity and monosaccharide transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with regulation of phytochrome signaling, response to red or far red light, light detection, and upregulation of photosynthesis. It has been linked to leaf formation, lateral root development, and brassinosteroid and cytokinin anabolism. Associations with agronomic traits include grain yield, inflorescence and panicle number, leaf area and angle, flower diameter and morphology, fruit set, root system morphology, vegetative vigor, and responses to UV-A light, far red light, copper, glyphosate, nitrogen, phosphorus, and spot blotch disease. The gene is also connected to seed longevity, development, and dormancy, as well as salinity stress tolerance and cell wall integrity.
