SEN4 — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
Summary
BvSEN4 (BVRB_6G142840) on sugar beet chromosome 6 encodes a xyloglucan endotransglucosylase/hydrolase (XTH) family protein with endoxyloglucan transferase and beta-glucanase activities. It is associated with xyloglucan metabolism and catabolism, cell wall loosening, assembly, and biogenesis, as well as responses to gibberellin, auxin, and brassinosteroid stimuli. The gene is linked to primary root development, leaf vascular tissue pattern formation, fruit ripening, and secondary cell wall biogenesis. Localization evidence places the product in the apoplast, plant-type cell wall, Golgi complex, and secretory vesicles. Associations with agronomic traits include sugar content, seed growth and development, brassinosteroid sensitivity, and aluminum response. Studies of related XTH family members in other species connect the family to root elongation, freezing tolerance, salt tolerance, and cell wall remodeling.
