PAT — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvPAT (BVRB_8G183410) on sugar beet chromosome 8 encodes a protein with a ubiquitin domain and is associated with ubiquitin-like modifier activating enzyme activity, protein tag, structural constituent of ribosome, mRNA binding, and protein binding. The gene is associated with protein neddylation, SCF complex assembly, protein ubiquitination, modification-dependent proteolysis, genetic transfer, cellular auxin homeostasis, ethylene anabolism, JA signaling, response to red or far red light, cytokinin, and jasmonic acid, leaf and endosperm development, phloem or xylem histogenesis, upregulation of flower development, regulation of circadian rhythm, reciprocal meiotic recombination, and leaf morphogenesis. Associations with traits include biomass yield, flowering time, disease tolerance, herbicide sensitivity, lateral root length, shoot axis branching, phototropism response, and others. Related genes in other species link the family to auxin response, root gravitropism, disease resistance, and shoot branching.
