GST — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvGST (BVRB_7G173050) on sugar beet chromosome 7 encodes a glutathione S-transferase (GST) with a Tau-like domain, and has glutathione transferase activity. This gene is associated with detoxification, glutathione metabolism, pectin metabolism, melatonin anabolism, and autotrophy. It is linked to responses to auxin, abscisic acid, cytokinin, gibberellin, heat, metal, and defense responses, and localizes to the cytoplasm. Associations with traits include quantum yield, starch content, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content. Related genes in other species link the family to chilling stress response, drought tolerance, oxidative stress response, hydrogen peroxide content, net photosynthetic rate, lignin content, anthocyanin content, seed maturation, and pathogen defense.
