ALKBH10A — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvALKBH10A (BVRB_7G179400) on sugar beet chromosome Bvchr7_un.sca009 encodes an mRNA N(6)-methyladenine demethylase with demethylase activity and mRNA binding, belonging to the AlkB-like superfamily and ALKBH9B/ALKBH10B-like family. It is associated with oxidative RNA demethylation, mRNA breakdown, RNA modification, and the transition from vegetative to reproductive phase, and localises to the nucleus. This gene is linked to seed germination, salt stress tolerance, ABA sensitivity, vegetative growth, floral transition, and metabolism. Related genes in other species are linked to flowering time, heat stress tolerance, reproductive thermotolerance, plant fertility, shortened roots, and oryzalin sensitivity.
