COP1 (PSAT7G227560) — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsCOP1 (PSAT7G227560) on garden pea chromosome 7LG7 encodes a protein with MFS sugar-transport-like and MFS domains, and is annotated with pre-mRNA 5'-splice site binding, L-leucine binding, adenylyltransferase activity, phytochrome binding, and ubiquitin ligase substrate adaptor functions. The gene is associated with regulation of signaling, phytochrome signaling, response to red or far-red light, detection of light, leaf formation, upregulation of photosynthesis, brassinosteroid and cytokinin anabolism, and fermentation. It has been linked to traits including grain yield, plant growth hormone response, UV-A and far-red light sensitivity, chlorophyll ratio, leaf area, flower diameter, root system morphology, spot blotch response, and copper sensitivity. Related genes in other species are associated with photomorphogenesis, anthocyanin pigmentation, pathogen defense, and shade-induced hypocotyl elongation.
