LIP1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsLIP1 (PSAT6G141080) on garden pea chromosome 6LG2 encodes a transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase with protein kinase activity and ATP binding. It is associated with strigolactone anabolism and response, dark adaptation, skotomorphogenesis, regulation of leaf senescence, pollen tube guidance, somatic embryogenesis, immune response, detection of fungal molecules, regulation of defence response to fungi, upregulation of reactive oxygen species anabolism, regulation of ROS metabolic process, regulation of growth, and regulation of response to thirst. The gene is linked to cold tolerance, salt stress tolerance, seed germination, pavement cell shape, photomorphogenesis, circadian rhythm, and lipid metabolism. It localises to the pollen tube tip, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to endoreplication.
