AFP — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G242640, symbol AFP (PsAFP), encodes a plant defensin family protein containing a knottin domain and scorpion toxin-like superfamily fold. The gene is associated with defence response to fungi, killing of cells of other organisms, immune response, and defense response. It is also linked to cell cycle, M phase, interkinetic nuclear migration, nuclear movement, cell cycle control, secretion, lipid metabolism, and mating. The encoded product localises to the extracellular space. Related genes in other species are linked to traits including drought tolerance, water use efficiency, transpiration rate, stomatal resistance, root volume and length, plant height, germination rate, and protein, amino acid, and proline content.
