PRS — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsPRS (PSAT3G140520) encodes a WUSCHEL-like homeodomain protein with DNA-binding and transcription factor activity, localised to the nucleus. In garden pea, this gene is associated with stipule development, mediolateral axis specification, adaxial/abaxial axis specification, and regulation of epidermal cell division. It is also linked to plant organ formation, procambium histogenesis, nodulation, immune response, and cell death. Phenotype associations include leaf adaxial-abaxial patterning, leaf blade outgrowth, and leaf margin development. Studies of related genes in other species link the PRS family to leaf blade and lateral organ development, biomass accumulation, floral organ identity, and root weight, as well as leaf shape and margin morphology traits.
