SEN4 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_5G110620 (SEN4, also known as XTH1) encodes a xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family 16 (GH16) and possessing endoxyloglucan transferase and xyloglucan-specific endo-beta-1,4-glucanase activities. This sugar beet gene on chromosome 5 is associated with cell wall loosening, assembly, and biogenesis, as well as xyloglucan catabolism and metabolism. It has been linked to responses to gibberellin, auxin, and brassinosteroid stimuli, and to primary root development, leaf vascular tissue pattern formation, and fruit ripening. The encoded protein localizes to the plant-type cell wall, apoplast, Golgi complex, and secretory vesicle. Associations with agronomic traits include sugar content, seed growth and development, aluminum response, and brassinosteroid sensitivity.
