PAT — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvPAT (BVRB_000430) on sugar beet chromosome 0010.scaffold00043 encodes a ubiquitin-like domain-containing protein with ribosomal eL40 and ubiquitin domains, and is annotated with histone methylase, deubiquitinase, ubiquitin-protein transferase, and structural ribosomal constituent activities. The gene is associated with diverse processes including genetic transfer, modification-dependent proteolysis, deubiquitination, regulation of abscisic acid and salicylic acid signaling, stomatal lineage progression, seed dormancy, endosperm development, and responses to freezing, thermal stimulus, salinity, and oomycete and bacterial pathogens. It is linked to traits such as leaf chlorophyll content, biomass yield, plant height, root mass density, seed dormancy, flowering time, pollen fertility, leaf necrosis, and disease tolerance. Localization evidence connects the product to ribosomes, endosomes, the ESCRT I complex, and chromosomes. Related genes in other species are linked to cold and heat stress tolerance, immunity, leaf senescence, and fruit development.
