PSAT1G186400 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsCOP1 (PSAT1G186400) on chromosome 1LG6 encodes a protein with domains characteristic of MFS sugar transporters, including the MFS_ERD6/Tret1-like and MFS_Trehalose_Transporter families, and is annotated with sugar transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including regulation of signaling, leaf formation, gluconeogenesis, brassinosteroid and cytokinin anabolism, and the regulation of phytochrome signaling and response to red or far red light. It has been linked to traits such as grain yield, leaf area, flower diameter, root system morphology, and responses to light quality, UV-A, and various stresses including spot blotch and downy mildew. Phenotypic associations include seed longevity, salinity stress tolerance, early flowering, and altered light response. Related genes in other species are linked to light-regulated gene expression, photomorphogenesis, and pathogen defense.
