SEN4 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
Summary
BvSEN4 (BVRB_3G065250) on sugar beet chromosome 3 encodes a xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) family protein with endoxyloglucan transferase and beta-glucanase activities. The gene is associated with cell wall loosening, assembly, and organization, xyloglucan metabolism and catabolism, secondary cell wall biogenesis, and responses to auxin, gibberellin, and brassinosteroid stimuli. It has been linked to sugar content, seed growth and development, aluminum response, brassinosteroid sensitivity, leaf senescence, lateral root development, salt tolerance, freezing tolerance, and shade avoidance. The protein localizes to the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, Golgi complex, and secretory vesicle. Studies of related XTH family members in other species connect this family to root elongation, vascular development, aluminum tolerance, and freezing stress resistance.
