Gene Details:
- Gene ID:
- Gene Symbol: LEAM
- Gene Name: late embryogenesis abundant protein
- Genome:
- Species: Pisum sativum
Functional Descriptions:
- Variability within a pea core collection of LEAM and HSP22, two mitochondrial seed proteins involved in stress tolerance.
- LEAM, a late embryogenesis abundant protein, and HSP22, a small heat shock protein, were shown to accumulate in the mitochondria during pea (Pisum sativum L.) seed development, where they are expected to contribute to desiccation tolerance.
- LEAM variability is discussed in terms of pea breeding history as well as LEA gene evolution mechanisms.
- LEAM and HSP22 proteins accumulate to high levels in the mitochondria during pea seed development.
