CP1 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvCP1 (BVRB_3G054380) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a centrin/CML-like protein with that binds calcium ions and acts as an enzyme modulator. The gene is associated with multiple biological processes including sucrose metabolism, ALA metabolism, terpenoid and phenylpropanoid anabolism, protein synthesis, translation elongation, signal transduction, and homeostasis. It is linked to salinity and hyperosmotic stress responses, and localises to plastid, membrane, cytosol, and cytoplasm. Associations with agronomic traits include leaf relative water content, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, and salt response. Related genes in other species are linked to salt stress tolerance, and by sequence similarity to germination ratio, chilling stress response, seedling vigor, drought tolerance, water use efficiency, sugar content, and numerous growth and yield-related traits.
