SCE1 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT3G57870, also known as SCE1, encodes a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme family member in Arabidopsis thaliana. The gene is associated with protein sumoylation, abscisic acid response, and embryo viability. It is linked to diverse biological processes including arginine breakdown, maltose breakdown, regulation of sumoylation, and flower structural organization. The encoded protein localizes to multiple cellular compartments such as the membrane coat, chloroplast ribosome, and cell division site. SCE1 is associated with numerous agronomically relevant traits including grain yield, seed volume, seedling height, starch grain size and shape, amylose content, total soluble sugar content, oligosaccharide content, germination ratio, root width, tiller angle, branch angle, and resistance to Meloidogyne incognita. The gene also shows associations with copper concentration and sensitivity, phosphate content, and sulfur sensitivity.
