PPH — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvPPH (BVRB_4G071060) on sugar beet chromosome 4 encodes an alpha/beta hydrolase domain-containing protein with hydrolase activity. The gene product is associated with the thylakoid, plastid, cytoplasm, and nucleus, and has been linked to biological processes including response to karrikin, arbuscular mycorrhizae formation, secretion, and cell death. It is also associated with tocopherol biosynthesis. Studies of related genes in other species link the PPH family to traits such as chlorophyll content, carotenoid content, lycopene content, leaf thickness, fruit color, seed maturation, and photochemical quenching.
