30G — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

Bv30G (BVRB_1G008220) on sugar beet chromosome 1 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. Bv30G is associated with positive regulation of miRNA metabolic processes, activation of syringal lignin anabolism, and fumarate metabolism. Associations with agronomic traits include ferulic acid content, starch grain size, zinc content, fruit yield, hexose content, and spot blotch response. The gene is linked to hormone signaling, growth and developmental processes, and regulation of seed size. Related genes in other species link the family to iron and potassium deficiency responses, tuber sprouting, seed development, pathogen response, and antiviral immunity.
