LE — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT5G299720 (symbol LE, preferred name PsGA4) on garden pea chromosome 5LG3 encodes a protein with a 2-oxoglutarate/Fe(II)-dependent dioxygenase domain and is annotated as a gibberellin 3-beta-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.11.15). The gene is associated with gibberellin signaling and response, de-etiolation, fruit and seed development, and responses to red or far-red light and fungal molecules. It is linked to stem length and elongation, plant height, vegetative growth, seed dormancy, primary root and hypocotyl growth, flowering time, petal and stamen development, and fruit growth. The product localizes to the cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seed germination, gibberellin A1 biosynthesis, dwarf phenotypes, delayed flowering, seed coat formation, starch degradation, and root growth defects.
