Description | LEA (late embryogenesis abundant) proteins were first identified in land plants. Plant LEA proteins have been found to accumulate to high levels during the last stage of seed formation (when a natural desiccation of the seed tissues takes place) and during periods of water deficit in vegetative organs. Later, LEA homologues have also been found in various species [, ]. They have been classified into several subgroups in Pfam and according to Bray and Dure [].This entry represents Pfam SMP, or D-34 from Dure, or group 6 from Bray. |
