LP1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsLP1 (PSAT7G227200) on chromosome 7LG7 encodes a non-specific lipid-transfer protein (nsLTP) with lipid carrier activity, lipid binding, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, and protein binding functions. This gene is associated with phospholipid transfer to membranes, lipid transport, cutin-based cuticle development, defence responses to fungi and Gram-positive bacteria, programmed cell death, secondary metabolism, salinity response, abscisic acid response, and mechanical stimulus response. The protein localises to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesma, secretory vesicle, Golgi complex, endosome, and plastid. PsLP1 is linked to flowering time, seed growth and development, leaf senescence, ethylene sensitivity, stomatal closure, salt and drought tolerance, cold tolerance, disease resistance, and cuticle integrity. Related genes in other species connect the family to yield, nitrogen use efficiency, pathogen resistance, and embryo development.
