30G — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

Bv30G (BVRB_028350) on sugar beet chromosome 113472 encodes a 14-3-3 domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with RISC complex binding and a wide array of annotated molecular functions including glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, xylose isomerase, and fumarate hydratase activities. It is linked to biological processes such as positive regulation of miRNA metabolism, activation of syringal lignin anabolism, and fumarate metabolism. Associations with agronomically relevant traits include ferulic acid content, starch grain size, zinc content, fruit yield, hexose content, and spot blotch response. The gene is also linked to phenotypes including iron-deficiency response, low phosphorus stress tolerance, root growth under alkaline stress, and immunity-associated programmed cell death. Studies of related 14-3-3 family members in other species link the family to drought sensitivity, tuber sprouting, seed development, and pathogen response.
