SPL6 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvSPL6 (BVRB_010700) on sugar beet chromosome 0283.scaffold00742 encodes an SBP-type domain-containing protein with DNA-binding transcription activator activity, localizing to the nucleus. It is associated with developmental processes including flower development and the upregulation of the vernalization response, as well as flavonoid anabolism and lipid metabolism. In sugar beet, BvSPL6 has been linked to cold stress response and drought resistance. The gene is also associated with drought tolerance and vegetative phase change. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to the vegetative-to-reproductive phase transition.
