DCE — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvDCE (BVRB_1G023250) on sugar beet chromosome Bvchr1_un.sca019 encodes a glutamate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.15) with pyridoxal phosphate-dependent decarboxylase and transferase domains, and exhibits glutamate decarboxylase, pyridoxal phosphate binding, calmodulin binding, calcium ion binding, and protein binding activities. The gene is associated with glutamate breakdown and metabolism, innervation, calcium ion detection, and mechanical stimulus response, and localizes to plastids, plasmodesmata, mitochondria, cytosol, cytoplasm, and nucleus. It is linked to GABA formation and glutamate degradation pathways. Associations include shoot growth angle, ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, photosynthetic rate, stomatal complex closure time, root development trait, leaf senescence trait, seed growth and development trait, abscisic acid sensitivity, flowering time trait, salt tolerance, drought tolerance, heat stress tolerance, bacterial pathogen resistance, water-use efficiency, nitrogen metabolism, and hypoxia-induced alanine accumulation.
