ARF — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT6G159640 (ARF) in garden pea (Pisum sativum) on chromosome 6LG2 encodes an ADP-ribosylation factor, a small GTPase of the Arf1-5-like family with GTP binding and GTPase activity, and is annotated for G protein activity and phospholipase activator activity. The gene is associated with auxin transport, intracellular protein transport, vesicle transport, and protein transport, and localises to the Golgi complex and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to auxin content, lateral root length, root length, and salt tolerance, though these associations are not established for this gene.
