MMP — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvMMP (BVRB_6G156020) on sugar beet chromosome Bvchr6_un.sca007 encodes a matrix metallopeptidase with metalloendopeptidase activity, belonging to the M10A_MMP family. The gene is associated with extracellular matrix organization, collagen breakdown, proteolysis, and localizes to the extracellular matrix, apoplast, and plasma membrane. It is linked to developmental vegetative growth, wound healing, negative regulation of leaf senescence, immune response, defence against fungi, response to jasmonic acid and cadmium, calcium signaling, salinity response, and regulation of photoperiodism and flowering. Associations with nitrate content, drought stress tolerance, auxin transport, root growth and development, resistance to necrotrophic fungal pathogens, and leaf senescence have been noted. Studies of related genes in other species link the MMP family to plant growth, flowering time, senescence, extracellular matrix remodeling, and susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea.
