LP1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsLP1 (PSAT7G234680) on garden pea chromosome 7LG7 encodes a protein with a Plant_nsLTP domain and is annotated with lipid carrier activity, lipid and calcium ion binding, and calmodulin binding. It is associated with phospholipid transfer to membranes, cutin-based cuticle development, plant epidermal cell differentiation, programmed cell death, and responses to abscisic acid, salinity, bacteria, and fungi. The gene is linked to traits including flowering time, seed growth and development, leaf senescence, ethylene sensitivity, stomatal closure, and jasmonic acid content. Phenotypic associations include salt and drought tolerance, seedling growth, hypocotyl elongation, cuticle permeability, disease resistance and susceptibility, freezing tolerance, and root development. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to yield, nitrogen use efficiency, embryo development, and resistance to pathogens and herbivory.
