Encodes VAD1 (Vascular Associated Death1), a regulator of cell death and defense responses in vascular tissues. VAD1 is a putative membrane associated protein and contains a GRAM domain. vad1 is a lesion mimic mutant that exhibits light conditional appearance of propagative HR (hypersensitive response)-like lesions along the vascular system.
