AUX1 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvAUX1 (BVRB_5G111820) on sugar beet chromosome 5 encodes a protein with an AA_transpt_TM domain and is associated with auxin influx transmembrane transporter activity, auxin receptor activity, auxin binding, IP6 binding, amino acid permease activity, symporter activity, ubiquitin-protein transferase activity, and protein binding. The gene is associated with auxin import into cells, establishment of planar polarity, amino acid transport, cotyledon vascular tissue pattern formation, root hair cell differentiation, stamen development, positive gravitropism, auxin polar transport, somatic embryogenesis, response to nematode, root cap development, cellular response to phosphate starvation, membrane transport, response to salt, response to ethylene, ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis, and response to auxin. It is linked to traits including IAA content, vascular tissue morphology, leaf vein morphology, phototropism response, root phototropism response, adventitious rootless, herbicide sensitivity, lateral root length, salt response, ethylene sensitivity, leaf morphology, plant embryo development, leaf composition, seedling growth and development, hypocotyl morphology, chlorophyll content, root thickness, oxidative stress response, flowering time, plant growth and development, and SALTTL. Phenotypic associations include graft union formation, lateral root emergence, root development, lateral-vein symmetry, xylem development, seed yield, embryonic root cell organization, embryo sac development, syncytium development, sugar
