Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: MtPLP
• Gene Name: PETIOLULE-LIKE PULVINUS
• Genome:
• Species: Medicago truncatula

Functional Descriptions:

• Identification and characterization of petiolule- like pulvinus (MsPLP) mutants with abolished nyctinastic leaf movement in the model legume Medicago truncatula.
• Loss of function in PETIOLULE-LIKE PULVINUS (MtPLP) leads to the change of pulvini to petiolules. The gene was cloned and molecular analysis showed that MtPLP is a unique LOB domain protein.
• Demonstrated that MtPLP plays a crucial role in the determination of pulvinus development. Leaf movement generated by pulvini may have an impact on plant vegetative growth.
• MtPLP encodes a unique LOB domain protein and plays a crucial role in the determination of pulvinus development.
