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 LEA_2, or LEA14 (D-95) from Dure. The structure of Arabidopsis LEA14 has been revealed [ ]. |
