ATPB — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvATPB (ATPB) on sugar beet chromosome 122091 encodes a protein with ATPase alpha/beta chains and P-loop_NTPase domains. The gene is associated with proton-transporting ATP synthase activity, rotational mechanism, and proton transmembrane transport, and is linked to localisation in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane, F1-F0 complex, and respiratory chain complex I. Annotations link BvATPB to flowering time, plant growth and development, root morphology, and stress response traits, as well as to phenotypes including flowering time, meiosis, DNA methylation and demethylation, gene silencing, cell proliferation, syncytium size, and hydraulic conductivity. Studies of related genes in other species connect the ATPB family to cytoplasmic male sterility, protein content, and responses to low temperature and oxidative stress.
