LP1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsLP1 (PSAT7G234280) on garden pea chromosome 7LG7 encodes a protein belonging to the Plant_nsLTP family, with lipid carrier and calcium/calmodulin-binding activities. The gene is associated with phospholipid transfer to membranes, lipid transport, cutin-based cuticle development, plant epidermal cell differentiation, programmed cell death, defence response to fungi, salinity response, and response to abscisic acid. It localises to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, plasmodesma, secretory vesicle, and plastid. Associations include ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, stomatal closure, leaf senescence, seed growth, flowering time, salt tolerance, drought response, cold tolerance, disease resistance, and cuticle permeability. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to yield, nitrogen use efficiency, embryo development, pathogen resistance, and salt stress tolerance.
