SPL6 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvSPL6 (BVRB_6G136190) on sugar beet chromosome 6 encodes an SPL-family protein with an SBP domain, localised to the nucleus and possessing DNA-binding, transcription coactivator activity, transcription cis-regulatory region binding, DNA binding transcription factor activity, zinc-binding and protein-binding activities. The gene is associated with upregulation of vernalization response, regulation of nitrogen utilization, regulation of seed dormancy process, gibberellic acid homeostasis, upregulation and downregulation of gibberellic acid mediated signaling, salicylic acid mediated signaling pathway, hyperosmotic salinity response, phloem transport, positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, downregulation of seed germination, regulation of ROS metabolic process, regulation of seed germination, response to far red light, GA-signaling, response to gibberellin, regulation of gene expression, and response to ethylene. It is linked to shoot system elongation rate, seed set percent, whole plant size, plant male sterility, gibberellic acid sensitivity, petiole length, cytokinin sensitivity, pollen fertility, vegetative growth time, trichome morphology trait, stem elongation, pollen fertility restoration trait, floral organ development trait, cell elongation trait, root meristem development, anthocyanin content, hypocotyl morphology trait, leaf senescence trait, root thickness, seed growth and development trait, flowering time trait, plant growth and development trait, and SALTTL.
