LIP1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsLIP1 (PSAT3G005080) encodes a serine/threonine-protein kinase with transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, coreceptor activity, and protein homodimerization activity, localizing to the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and pollen tube tip. In garden pea, this gene is associated with strigolactone response and anabolism, dark adaptation, skotomorphogenesis, regulation of leaf senescence, pollen tube guidance, somatic embryogenesis, innate immune response-activating signaling pathway, detection of molecules of fungal origin, regulation of defense response to fungi, regulation of ROS metabolic process, chloroplast organization, and response to stress. It has been linked to cold tolerance, salt stress tolerance, seed germination, lipid metabolism, pavement cell shape, photomorphogenesis, and circadian rhythm. Studies of related genes in other species connect the broader kinase family to endoreplication and responses to low temperature and salt stress.
