COCH — Pisum sativum

Summary

PSAT6G178600 (symbol COCH) on garden pea chromosome 6LG2 encodes a protein with transcription cis-regulatory region binding and zinc-binding activities. The gene is associated with stipule development, leaf development, leaf abscission, flower development, nodulation, organogenesis, cytokinin anabolism, and the jasmonic acid-mediated signaling pathway for induced systemic resistance. The encoded protein is localized to the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. Additionally, COCH is linked to leaf size and organ identity traits. Related genes in other species connect this gene family to similar developmental roles, though these functions are not yet established in pea.
