| 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_3, or LEA5 (D-73) from Dure. Proteins in this entry includes LEA-5 from Citrus sinensis [ ], whose expression is induced by salt, drought and heat stress []. This entry also includes At4g02380 (SAG21), At1g02820 (LEA2), At3g53770 (LEA37) and At4g15910 (LEA41) from Arabidopsis []. | Name | Late embryogenesis abundant protein, LEA_3 subgroup |
| Short Name | LEA_3 | Type | Family |
