LP1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsLP1 (LP1, PSAT7G227120) on garden pea chromosome 7LG7 encodes a non-specific lipid-transfer protein (nsLTP) with lipid carrier, nutrient reservoir, lipid binding, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, and protein binding activities. The gene is associated with phospholipid transfer to membranes, digestion, seed trichome elongation, cutin anabolism, cuticle development, calcium ion detection, mechanical stimulus response, lipid transport, secondary metabolism, epidermal cell differentiation, seed development, programmed cell death, salinity and abscisic acid responses, and defense. It is linked to ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, stomatal complex closure time, leaf senescence, seed growth and development, abscisic acid sensitivity, flowering time, and salt tolerance. Phenotypic associations include seedling growth, sexual reproduction, hypocotyl elongation, salt tolerance, shoot development, salt stress response, hypocotyl length, drought response, cuticle permeability, gravitropism, shoot growth, drought tolerance, shoot branching, cold tolerance, flowering time, osmotic stress tolerance, abscisic acid response, disease resistance, longitudinal cell elongation, pollen tube growth, seed set, freezing tolerance, disease susceptibility, root development, abscisic acid biosynthesis, cuticle integrity, phenotypic variation, flower development, suberin formation, and lipid transfer. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to germination, resistance to bacterial infection, cuticle
