PAT — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvPAT (BVRB_7G165710) on sugar beet chromosome 7 encodes a protein with ubiquitin domains and is annotated with diverse molecular functions including histone methylase activity, thiol-dependent deubiquitinase activity, and structural ribosome constituent roles. The gene is associated with modification-dependent proteolysis, deubiquitination, and regulation of abscisic acid anabolism, as well as responses to salicylic acid, freezing, thermal stimulus, and salinity. It has been linked to traits including leaf chlorophyll content, biomass yield, plant height, root mass density, seed dormancy, flowering time, disease tolerance, and temperature stress responses. Related genes in other species are linked to salt tolerance, drought tolerance, seed size, cell proliferation, cold and heat stress tolerance, and stomatal formation.
