CLV2 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsCLV2 (PSAT3G104800) on garden pea chromosome 3LG5 encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein with transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity, peptide receptor activity, and cycloeucalenol cycloisomerase activity. The gene is associated with shoot apical meristem development and maintenance, regulation of meristem size and organization, stem cell specification and number, organogenesis, phloem development, strigolactone and sterol anabolism, pinocytosis, dedifferentiation, and response to nutrients. It localizes to the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum, plasmodesmata, and extracellular region. PsCLV2 is linked to floral organ size, inflorescence and gynoecium development, plant height, root meristem development, nematode resistance, heat stress tolerance, and disease tolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to meristem maintenance, stem cell homeostasis, and organ development.
